ABSTRACT Background Embryonal tumors comprise the majority of malignant central nervous system (CNS) neoplasms diagnosed in children under 3 years of age. Compared with their counterparts in older children, these tumors exhibit distinct molecular biology and a more aggressive clinical phenotype, while their management is complicated by the heightened ...

ABSTRACT Chitinase‐3‐like‐1 (CHI3L1, also known as YKL‐40) has been recognized as a biomarker of inflammation and tissue remodeling and has now emerged as a pseudoenzymatic immune checkpoint. Recent structural, immunological, and translational studies redefine it as an active regulator of immune suppression rather than a passive disease marker. Despite

ABSTRACT Purpose To determine the feasibility of measuring brain clearance of gadolinium contrast agent using standard intravenous DCE‐MRI acquisitions and evaluate the contribution of blood–brain barrier (BBB) and non‐BBB clearance routes. Methods Uptake and extended Tofts models were fit to DCE‐MRI data from people with Parkinson's disease, post ...

Using Manganese‐Enhanced DCE‐MRI to Assess Blood‐Cerebrospinal Fluid Barrier Transport
ABSTRACT PurposeWe developed a dynamic, heavily T2‐weighted (hT2w) FLAIR protocol to resolve acute Mn2+ transport kinetics, as a proxy for Ca2+, across the choroid plexus (ChP)—cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) interface, in vivo. By quantifying intercompartmental Mn2+ dynamics, and comparing these with Gd‐DOTA, we sought to characterize blood‐CSF‐barrier ...

High‐Resolution IVIM MRI Characterizes Diffusion–Perfusion Properties of the Parasagittal Dura
Parasagittal dura demonstrates intermediate diffusion and elevated perfusion‐related IVIM metrics compared with brain parenchyma, reflecting its unique microfluidic environment at the CSF–dura interface. IVIM imaging of the parasagittal dura provides a rapid, noncontrast MRI approach to assess dural fluid transport and may offer a potential imaging ...
