Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Intestinal lymph containing interstitial fluid, proteins, immune cells, and digested lipids is actively transported back to the blood stream thanks to rhythmical contractions of the mesenteric lymphatic vessels. During this process, lymph flows through several lymph nodes, allowing antigens to be sampled by the immune system. Abnormalities in lymphatic drainage have been noted in the original descriptions of Crohn's disease, but essentially ignored since. The lymphatic system is re-emerging as a critical player in inflammatory and immune processes and the purpose of this review is to present and discuss new concepts related to the involvement of the lymphatic system in the development of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) and more specifically Crohn's disease. RECENT FINDINGS: Recent studies reporting lymphangitis, lymphangiogenesis, bacterial infiltration and lymph node infection, immune cell trafficking, and fat-wrapping in Crohn's disease suggest altered lymph drainage and lymphatic pumping, implicating the lymphatic system as a likely player in inflammatory disorders and IBDs. SUMMARY: Improved knowledge and appreciation of the roles that the lymphatic system plays in immune cell trafficking, infection, fat transport, distribution and metabolism and, of course, edema resolution is necessary to better understand the pathogenesis of chronic inflammatory conditions such as Crohn's disease and may provide the basis for new therapeutic strategies.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
