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.

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.

MARCO, an innate activation marker of macrophages, is a class A scavenger receptor for Neisseria meningitidis.

TL;DR: It is proposed that the TLR‐dependent induction of MARCO by innate immune stimulation enhances recognition and uptake of pathogenic organisms such as NM, thus contributing to host defence against infection.

Reversal of Paralysis and Reduced Inflammation from Peripheral Administration of β-Amyloid in TH1 and TH17 Versions of Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis

TL;DR: It was found that treatment with either Aβ42 or Aβ40 peptides reduced motor paralysis and brain inflammation in four different models of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) with attenuation of motor paralysis, reduction of inflammatory lesions in the central nervous system (CNS), and suppression of lymphocyte activation.

Cilostazol suppresses β-amyloid production by activating a disintegrin and metalloproteinase 10 via the upregulation of SIRT1-coupled retinoic acid receptor-β.

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that cilostazol attenuates Aβ production by increasing a disintegrin and metalloproteinase 10 (ADAM10)/α‐secretase activity via SIRT1‐coupled retinoic acid receptor‐β (RARβ) activation in N2a cells expressing human APP Swedish mutation.

Differential aquaporin 4 expression during edema build-up and resolution phases of brain inflammation

TL;DR: This animal model of brain inflammation demonstrated two phases of edema development: an initial edema build-up phase during active inflammation that peaked after 3 days and was followed by an edema resolution phase that lasted from 7 to 20 days post injection and was accompanied by glial scar formation.

The effects of noncoding aquaporin-4 single-nucleotide polymorphisms on cognition and functional progression of Alzheimer's disease

TL;DR: A potential role for AQP4 in the development or progression of AD is suggested, but the relationship between of naturally occurring variants in the human AQP 4 gene and cognitive function has not yet been evaluated.
