Clinical Trial Summary

The project aims to compare the differences in the expression of cell death through apoptosis and iron-dependent cell death after the reduction of edema symptoms following lymphedema surgery in patients.


Description:

This project aims to investigate the expression of cell death through apoptosis and iron-dependent cell death in the subcutaneous adipose tissue of patients with lymphedema. The study also seeks to explore the roles of these processes among lymphatic endothelial cells, adipocytes, and macrophages, and their association with lymphedema, thus gaining insights into the pathophysiological mechanisms of lymphedema. Furthermore, the project aims to compare the differences in the expression of cell death through apoptosis and iron-dependent cell death after the reduction of edema symptoms following lymphedema surgery in patients.
