The Glymphatic System and Meningeal Lymphatics: Current Understandings and Future Perspectives
MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 4, April 2026.Brain waste clearance relies on the anatomical and functional integration of the glymphatic system and meningeal lymphatic vessels. Cerebrospinal fluid influx into the brain parenchyma occurs along periarterial spaces, a process driven by polarized aquaporin‐4 (AQP4) water channels on astrocytic endfeet.
