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.

Development and plasticity of meningeal lymphatic vessels.

TL;DR: It is shown that meningeal LVs develop postnatally, appearing first around the foramina in the basal parts of the skull and spinal canal, sprouting along the blood vessels and cranial and spinal nerves to various parts ofThe meninges surrounding the central nervous system (CNS).
Journal ArticleDOI

Circadian control of brain glymphatic and lymphatic fluid flow.

TL;DR: It is shown that CSF distribution is under circadian control and that AQP4 supports this rhythm, suggesting distribution of CSF throughout the animal depends on time-of-day.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mind-altering with the gut: Modulation of the gut-brain axis with probiotics.

TL;DR: The role of gut microbiota in bidirectional interactions between the gut and the brain, including neural, immune-mediated, and metabolic mechanisms are reviewed, and recent advances in the understanding of probiotic modulation of neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders via the gut-brain axis are highlighted.

Perivascular microglial cells of the CNS are bone marrow-derived and present antigen in vivo.

TL;DR: Rat bone marrow chimeras and encephalitogenic, major histocompatability--restricted T-helper lymphocytes were used to show that a subset of endogenous CNS cells, commonly termed "perivascular microglial cells," is bone marrow-derived and are fully competent to present antigen to lymphocytes in an appropriately restricted manner.

Peripheral anti-Aβ antibody alters CNS and plasma Aβ clearance and decreases brain Aβ burden in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease

TL;DR: Although peripheral administration of m266 to PDAPP mice markedly reduces Aβ deposition, m266 did not bind to Aβ deposits in the brain, and m266 appears to reduce brain Aβ burden by altering CNS and plasma Aβ clearance.
Journal ArticleDOI

How neuroinflammation contributes to neurodegeneration.

TL;DR: Observations indicate that therapies targeting glial cells might provide benefit for those afflicted by neurodegenerative disorders, because the environment is affected during disease in a cascade of processes collectively termed neuroinflammation.

The Glymphatic System: A Beginner’s Guide

TL;DR: The glymphatic system is a recently discovered macroscopic waste clearance system that utilizes a unique system of perivascular tunnels, formed by astroglial cells, to promote efficient elimination of soluble proteins and metabolites from the central nervous system.
