Resilient Calvarial Bone Marrow Supports Retinal Repair in Type 2 Diabetes
Skull bone (calvarium) marrow in diabetic mice stay structurally intact and keeps making blood cells, unlike the bone marrow of the leg bones. The skull marrow is exposed to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which contains protective molecules called oxysterols.

Regulation of Choroid Plexus Bicarbonate Transporters Following Intraventricular Hemorrhage in Mice
ABSTRACT Posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus is a severe complication to intraventricular hemorrhage. The condition results in enlarged brain ventricles and increased intracranial pressure due to accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). In this study, two mouse models of intraventricular hemorrhage were investigated: injection of lysed red blood cells ...
