## Abstract We are developing a new spinal implant system (SIS) without fusion (bone graft). This SIS is made from two materials, metal and polyetheretherketone (PEEK) polymer. The Food and Drug Administration recommended testing __in vivo,__ in an animal model, whether the PEEK polymer could be us
## Abstract The lymphatic system plays an essential physiological role in homeostasis, interstitial fluid composition, and immunity while impaired lymphatic function has been implicated in a number of pathological conditions, including arthritis and delayed wound healing. This study investigated ly
