Mechanism of neocryptotanshinone in protecting against cerebral ischemic injury: By suppressing M1 polarization of microglial cells and promoting cerebral angiogenesis.

TL;DR: Zhang et al. as discussed by the authors explored the protective function and mechanism of neocryptotanshinone (NEO) on cerebral ischemia and found that NEO suppressed M1 polarization of BV2 cells, which exerted its effect through suppressing NF-κB and STAT3 signals, thereby decreasing the levels of iNOS, CD11b and inflammatory factors.

Aquaporin-4 in glymphatic system, and its implication for central nervous system disorders

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors summarize the pathophysiological role that aquaporin-4 plays in several CNS disorders by affecting the clearance function of the glymphatic system and provide new therapeutic alternatives for incurable debilitating neurodegenerative disorders of CNS in the future.

DTI-ALPS: An MR biomarker for motor dysfunction in patients with subacute ischemic stroke

TL;DR: In this article , diffusion tensor image analysis along the perivascular space (DTI-ALPS) was used to explore whether glymphatic activity was related to motor dysfunction in subacute ischemic stroke patients.

Role of the Meningeal Lymphatics in Stroke

TL;DR: The role of meningeal lymphatic vessels (MLVs) in the immune response after ischemic stroke has been investigated in this paper , showing that MLVs act as a physical conduit for antigens and immune cells from the central nervous system to enter the draining cervical lymph nodes (CLNs).

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.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural and functional features of central nervous system lymphatic vessels

TL;DR: In searching for T-cell gateways into and out of the meninges, functional lymphatic vessels lining the dural sinuses are discovered, which may call for a reassessment of basic assumptions in neuroimmunology and sheds new light on the aetiology of neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases associated with immune system dysfunction.

A dural lymphatic vascular system that drains brain interstitial fluid and macromolecules

TL;DR: The presence of a lymphatic vessel network in the dura mater of the mouse brain is discovered and it is shown that these dural lymphatic vessels are important for the clearance of macromolecules from the brain.

Aquaporin-4 deletion in mice reduces brain edema after acute water intoxication and ischemic stroke.

TL;DR: It is shown that mice deficient in aquaporin-4 (AQP4), a glial membrane water channel, have much better survival than wild-type mice in a model of brain edema caused by acute water intoxication, and suggested that AQP4 inhibition may provide a new therapeutic option for reducingbrain edema in a wide variety of cerebral disorders.
