Constitutive activation of canonical Wnt signaling disrupts choroid plexus epithelial fate [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2022The cerebrospinal fluid-secreting choroid plexus needs a balanced level of canonical Wnt signaling. Here the authors show that if this signaling is over-activated, the choroid plexus loses its properties and function, and transforms to a neuronal ...

Choroid plexus epithelium and its role in neurological diseases
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2022Choroid plexus epithelial cells can secrete cerebrospinal fluid into the ventricles, serving as the major structural basis of the selective barrier between the neurological system and blood in the brain.

Annexin A5 prevents amyloid-β-induced toxicity in choroid plexus: implication for Alzheimer’s disease [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2020In Alzheimer's disease (AD) amyloid-beta (A beta) deposits may cause impairments in choroid plexus, a specialised brain structure which forms the blood-cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) barrier.

The choroid plexus and its role in the pathogenesis of neurological infections
Fluids and Barriers of the CNS, 2022The choroid plexus is situated at an anatomically and functionally important interface within the ventricles of the brain, forming the blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier that separates the periphery from the central nervous system.

Hypertensive nonobstructive hydrocephalus as main magnetic resonance imaging feature in a dog with disseminated choroid plexus carcinomatosis [PDF]
Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 2023Obstructive or nonobstructive hypertensive hydrocephalus is reported in choroid plexus tumors. Choroid plexus tumors typically present as T2‐weighted hyperintense intraventricular masses with occasional cerebrospinal fluid‐drop metastasis.

Non-invasive measurement of choroid plexus apparent blood flow with arterial spin labeling
Fluids and Barriers of the CNS, 2020Background The choroid plexus is a major contributor to the generation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and the maintenance of its electrolyte and metabolite balance.

Paclitaxel triggers molecular and cellular changes in the choroid plexus [PDF]
Frontiers in Pain ResearchPaclitaxel is a widely used chemotherapeutic agent for treating various solid tumors. However, resulting neuropathic pain, often a lifelong side effect of paclitaxel, can limit dosing and compromise optimal treatment.

Klotho controls the brain-immune system interface in the choroid plexus. [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2018Located within the brain's ventricles, the choroid plexus produces cerebrospinal fluid and forms an important barrier between the central nervous system and the blood.

Identification of a novel mechanism of blood-brain communication during peripheral inflammation via choroid plexus-derived extracellular vesicles [PDF]
EMBO Molecular Medicine, 2016Here, we identified release of extracellular vesicles (EVs) by the choroid plexus epithelium (CPE) as a new mechanism of blood-brain communication. Systemic inflammation induced an increase in EVs and associated pro-inflammatory miRNAs, including miR ...
