We establish higher integrability up to the boundary for the gradient of solutions to porous medium type systems, whose model case is given by
$ \begin{equation*} \partial_t u-\Delta(|u|^{m-1}u) = \mathrm{div}\,F\,, \end{equation*} $
where
$ m>1 $
. More precisely, we prove that under suitable assumptions the spatial gradient
$ D(|u|^{m-1}u) $
 of any weak solution is integrable to a larger power than the natural power
$ 2 $
. Our analysis includes both the case of the lateral boundary and the initial boundary.
Keywords: Porous medium type systems, higher integrability, gradient estimates.
