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.

Atrial natriuretic peptide: its putative role in modulating the choroid plexus-CSF system for intracranial pressure regulation.

TL;DR: Immunostaining is demonstrated not only in the choroidal epithelium, but also in the ependyma and some endothelial cells of cerebral microvessels in adult rats (Sprague-Dawley), substantiating the initial autoradiographic binding studies with 125I-ANP.

Alzheimer's disease: Attack on amyloid-β protein

Eric M. Reiman
- 01 Sep 2016 - 
TL;DR: Interim results from a clinical trial of monthly infusions of aducanumab in subjects with prodromal or mild Alzheimer's disease support further development of aduecanumab as an Aβ-removing therapy.

Lymphocyte targeting of the brain in adoptive transfer cryolesion-EAE.

TL;DR: It is suggested that focal central nervous system damage with drainage of auto‐antigens to regional lymph nodes in man may play a role in determining the site and timing of initial and recurrent multiple sclerosis lesions.

Uptake of fibrillar β-amyloid by microglia isolated from MSR-A (type I and type II) knockout mice

TL;DR: To charaterize the receptors involved in binding fibrillar amyloid A-beta (fAβ), the uptake of fAβ in microglia from wildtype and MSR-A knockout mice was compared to show a significant reduction in the uptake, which suggests that fA β gets internalized mostly byMSR-As inmicroglia.

Expression of aquaporin 1 and 4 in a congenital hydrocephalus rat model.

TL;DR: Biphasic AQP1 expression in the CP with increased AQPs 1 and 4 at the brain-fluid interfaces may indicate compensatory mechanisms to regulate choroidal cerebrospinal fluid secretion and increase parenchymal fluid absorption in the high-pressure hydrocephalic condition.
