FGF2 is expressed in human and murine embryonic choroid plexus and affects choroid plexus cell behaviour [PDF]
Background Although fibroblast growth factor (Fgf) signalling plays crucial roles in several developing and mature tissues, little information is currently available on expression of Fgf2 during early choroid plexus development and whether Fgf2 directly ...

Biobanking of Cerebrospinal Fluid [PDF]
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a physiologically essential fluid produced by the brain that is involved in protecting the brain and in the exchange of nutrients and waste products. CSF has long been utilized to confirm clinical suspicion of various infectious and inflammatory disorders, such as meningitis and multiple sclerosis.

Abnormal expression of cerebrospinal fluid cation chloride cotransporters in patients with Rett Syndrome [PDF]
Objective: Rett Syndrome is a progressive neurodevelopmental disorder caused mainly by mutations in the gene encoding methyl-CpG-binding protein 2. The relevance of MeCP2 for GABAergic function was previously documented in animal models. In these models,
