TLDR
The clinical importance of ependymal route-based targeted gene therapy and intranasal drug administration in the brain by taking advantage of the unique role played by brain lymphatic pathways in the regulation of CSF flow and ISF/CSF exchange is highlighted.

Glymphatic System and Mitochondrial Dysfunction as Two Crucial Players in Pathophysiology of Neurodegenerative Disorders

TL;DR: In this paper , a review of possible direct and indirect connections between the glymphatic system and mitochondria in the process of neurodegeneration is presented, which leads to the development of new multidirectional therapies, which, due to the complexity of pathogenesis, seems to be worth considering.

Pro-resolving lipid mediators in traumatic brain injury: emerging concepts and translational approach.

TL;DR: A translational approach to answer important clinical and scientific questions to advance the study of bioactive lipids and SPMs towards clinical research is proposed.

Idiopathic intracranial hypertension in patients with cerebral small vessel disease: A case report

TL;DR: In this article , the authors reported a case of CSVD with concomitant IIH, possibly associated with the brain's glymphatic and lymphatic system dysfunction, and they suggested that the normal GAs may serve as a compensatory mechanism for regulating increased intracranial pressure in patients with bilateral venous sinus obstruction.

Fate Mapping Analysis Reveals That Adult Microglia Derive from Primitive Macrophages

TL;DR: Results identify microglia as an ontogenically distinct population in the mononuclear phagocyte system and have implications for the use of embryonically derived microglial progenitors for the treatment of various brain disorders.

The amyloid hypothesis of Alzheimer's disease at 25 years

TL;DR: In a recent study, this article showed that low cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) Aβ42 and amyloid-PET positivity precede other AD manifestations by many years.

A paravascular pathway facilitates CSF flow through the brain parenchyma and the clearance of interstitial solutes, including amyloid β.

TL;DR: An anatomically distinct clearing system in the brain that serves a lymphatic-like function is described and may have relevance for understanding or treating neurodegenerative diseases that involve the mis-accumulation of soluble proteins, such as amyloid β in Alzheimer's disease.

Immunization with amyloid-beta attenuates Alzheimer-disease-like pathology in the PDAPP mouse.

TL;DR: It is reported that immunization of the young animals essentially prevented the development of β-amyloid-plaque formation, neuritic dystrophy and astrogliosis, and treatment of the older animals markedly reduced the extent and progression of these AD-like neuropathologies.

Sleep Drives Metabolite Clearance From the Adult Brain

TL;DR: It is reported that sleep has a critical function in ensuring metabolic homeostasis and convective fluxes of interstitial fluid increased the rate of β-amyloid clearance during sleep, suggesting the restorative function of sleep may be a consequence of the enhanced removal of potentially neurotoxic waste products that accumulate in the awake central nervous system.
