Our aim is to provide rigorous peer review and enable rapid publication of cutting-edge research to educate and inspire the scientific community worldwide.

Lymphatics publishes high-quality original research articles, communications, case reports, and timely review or commentary papers related to lymphology and related disorders, their biochemistry, molecular biology, immunology, and physiology, with a special emphasis on translational research and therapeutics. Key areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Lymphatic system and lymph nodes;
• Cancers associated with lymphoblasts and lymphocytes—lymphoma; acute lymphoblastic leukemia; chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and other blood borne cancers;
• Cancer progression and dissemination through lymphatics—metastasis;
• Lymphocytes as microenvironment;
• The use of genetically engineered lymphocytes as drugs;
• Lymphatic vessels and lymph, the clear fluid;
• The biology and development of lymphocytes;
• Lymphoid tissues;
• Lymphatics and inflammation;
• The role of lymphocytes and lymphatic system in fighting infection.

We encourage scientists to publish their research articles and concepts that revolve around above topics. There is no restriction on the maximum length of papers. Large electronic files, software, movies, etc. that cannot be published in the main paper can be posted as supplementary material. Full experimental and/or methodological details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. We also accept proposals for review articles that are not part of Special Issues and interesting images with detailed legends and reference citations.
