This framework assesses force contributions to lymphatic fluid uptake, indicating differences in health and disease contexts.
Branching topology and material properties fundamentally influence lymphatic drainage. Active pumping is particularly important in highly branched architectures, while interstitial properties mainly modulate passive flow. The framework enables quantitative exploration of regional physiological and pathological differences.
