Former esthetician here. Which is to say, I’ve been paying attention to this issue for a long time.
Tattoos are not risk free.
"Tattoo ink does not remain confined to the skin. Studies show that pigment particles can migrate through the lymphatic system and accumulate in lymph nodes."
Congratulations, Emmanuel, on this online publication showing how #sirolimus treatment can be adapted to patients' needs. Most #patients with #slow-#flow #vascular #malformations benefit to some extent, and many experience significant #symptom reduction even with #intermittent dosing. This is a big step forward in the #multimodal management of vascular malformations. #VASCERN #VASCAPA #CMTC #HEVAS #WELRI #ISSVA #EVDays #deduveinstitute #Leducq #Radiorg #Eurordis #Lymph

So great 2 days at the #French Society of #Lymphology 2025 in Toulouse on lymphatic malformations, lymphoedema and lipedema. Illustrative presentations, pertinent questions and collegial discussions. The field is moving along faster than ever. Humbling to be part of the faculty. #vascapa #hevas #CMTC #Welbio #eshg #revamp #VASCERN #eurordis #Radiorg #lymph #LM #ISSVA
Don't give your pet mouse 🐁️ a tattoo. A study by Capucetti et al. in PNAS found the ink lingers in lymph nodes for months and kills immune cells. Effect on vaccines varied; Comirnaty (for COVID) injected into a tattoo was weaker while the flu jab was stronger.

What a great International Society of Lymphology Congress in Antalya. Thanks for great organisation Pinar. Some many new ideas and initiated collaborations. See you all in 2027 on Goa, India. #VASCERN #VASCAPA #hevas #cmtc #lymph
Great First European #Lymphatic Forum in Toulouse by #theralymph. Active participation by our group as well. Looking forward to the second edition in 2027 in #Budapest. #vascern #lymph #hevas #cmtc #le&rn #ESL #ISL #welbio
#VASCERN participating in discussions on lymphatic diseases at the biannual Polish Lymphatic Meeting in Wroclaw. VASCERN has been referred to by several Polish speakers as well. 🤩 #vascapa #hevas #lymph #cmtc
[21:04] 340.000 euro opgehaald in Heerenveen voor onderzoek naar lymfeklierkanker
Deelnemers aan de Hollandse 100, een schaats-, fiets- en wandelevenement, hebben zondag in Heerenveen 340.201 euro opgehaald voor onderzoek naar lymfeklierkanker. De organisatie, Lymph&Co, spreekt van een indrukwekkend eindbedrag.

I never could figure out why high school science often overlooks the lymphatic system. I created this resource for teachers, makes it much easier to explain to students. Has some helpful animated GIFs

Early regional #lymph node #activation drives #influenza #vaccine responses in an ancestrally diverse cohort
Source: BioRxIV, AbstractEarly in vivo dynamics of human immune-cell activation across regionally activated lymphoid tissue sites upon immunisation are poorly characterised in ancestrally diverse individuals. Here, we profiled draining and non-draining axillary lymph nodes (dLNs and ndLNs) by ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (FNA) in 13 Black and Asian…
#Tattoos increase your risk for #cancer
> The study population consisted of 11,905 individuals, and the response rate was 54% among cases (n = 1398) and 47% among controls (n = 4193). The #tattoo prevalence was 21% among cases and 18% among controls. #Tattooed individuals had a higher adjusted risk of overall #lymphoma (IRR = 1.21; 95% CI 0.99–1.48).

I swam in #LakeChamplain today, which I have done every day this summer.#Swimming moves #lymph, feels incredibly #grounding. I reaffirm my #FierceAttractionToLife: I worship the dynamism of my body, the earth, the water, the sky. Yesterday, I swam with bouncing raindrops on gently rolling water, under the cloudy white sky, temp 61F/16C. Today, I swam, not in the same body nor under the same sky. I saw a cormorant and a female merganser duck. The water was so clear. The sun came out for a moment.
"Under the effect of the lectin, endothelial cells undergo profound cellular changes resulting in endocytosis and degradation of the junctional protein VE-cadherin, formation of an actin rim, and arrested cell motility. This likely negatively impacts the capacity of endothelial cells to respond to extracellular stimuli and to generate the intercellular gaps for allowing leukocyte diapedesis."
