Article Synopsis
- High endothelial venules (HEVs) are specialized blood vessels that help lymphocytes move from blood into tissues, and this study is the first to investigate their presence in pleural tissue associated with tumors.
- The researchers analyzed 149 surgical pleural biopsies, using immunohistochemistry to identify HEVs, finding them in 68% of the samples, with a higher occurrence in neoplastic diseases compared to non-neoplastic ones.
- The findings suggest that HEVs play a role in the immune response within pleural diseases, highlighting their significance in both inflammatory and cancer-related conditions in the pleural cavity.*
