Lymph nodes filter system for viruses, bacteria and fungus invasion
The Role of the Lymphatic and Glymphatic Systems in Chronic Inflammation and Neurodegeneration The lymphatic system functions as the body’s primary filtration and immune transport network against viral, bacterial, and fungal invasion. When either the lymphatic or glymphatic systems malfunction, chronic inflammation becomes increasingly difficult to control. At present, lymph nodes remain the body’s main biological filtration structures. If science cannot develop more effective “bait, capture, destroy, and remove” mechanisms for pathogens and inflammatory debris, the long-term battle against chronic inflammation may remain unresolved. Key Questions Several important questions remain insufficiently addressed: How can spike proteins or other pathogenic particles enter the limbic system, which is not directly supplied by red blood cells (RBCs) in the same manner as peripheral tissues? If lymphatic fluid (chyle) recirculates into cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), could harmful proteins or...
