Here's an animation I made that shows fluid flow in/out of the kidneys, with emphasis on the lymphatics since they are often left out of anatomical illustrations:
➡️ Fluid enters via the renal artery
⬅️ Fluid exits via the renal vein, lymphatics, and as urine

Kidney lymphatics are a promising target in transplant rejection
🗺️ In rejection, lymphatics expand and adversely remodel
⚡️ Although they have an anti-inflammatory profile, they are attacked by the immune system

Online now: Glymphatics and meningeal lymphatics unlock the brain-immune code
Glymphatics and meningeal lymphatics unlock the brain-immune code
Recent discoveries of glymphatics and meningeal lymphatics have redefined our understanding of CNS immunosurveillance. Kim and Kipnis illustrate how the clearance of brain-derived antigens creates an “immune code” that, when presented by meningeal antigen-presenting cells, instructs T cells to safeguard neural homeostasis. They review how inflammation, aging, and neurodegeneration disrupt this finely tuned process and highlight emerging therapeutic opportunities.
