TL;DR: It is shown that meningeal lymphatic vessels drain macromolecules from the CNS (cerebrospinal and interstitial fluids) into the cervical lymph nodes in mice and improves brain perfusion and learning and memory performance.

TL;DR: The new J-GRP solver is used to construct an ADER scheme that is globally explicit, locally implicit and with no theoretical accuracy barrier, in both space and time to deal with stiff source terms and can be applied to non-linear systems of hyperbolic balance laws in domains consisting on networks of one-dimensional sub-domains.

TL;DR: A review of all major extracellular fluid compartments within the brain, advocates a holistic approach to the understanding of the fluid dynamics, rather than focusing on a single compartment when analyzing neurological diseases.

TL;DR: In this paper, a one-dimensional model for collecting lymphatics coupled with a novel Electro-Fluid-Mechanical Contraction (EFMC) model for dynamical contractions, based on a modified FitzHugh-Nagumo model for action potentials, is proposed.

TL;DR: This work solves exactly the Riemann problem for the non-linear hyperbolic system governing blood flow in human veins and shows that veins do not admit complete collapse, that is zero cross-sectional area A, which means that the Cauchy problem will not admit zeroCross-sectional areas as initial condition.
