MJ Davis, E Rahbar, AA Gashev… - American Journal of …, 2011 - Am Physiological Soc Secondary lymphatic valves are essential for minimizing backflow of lymph and are presumed to gate passively according to the instantaneous trans-valve pressure gradient. We hypothesized that valve gating is also modulated by vessel distention, which could alter leaflet stiffness ... Related articles - All 3 versions
