Functional and Genetic Analysis of Choroid Plexus Development in Zebrafish
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2014 The choroid plexus, an epithelial-based structure localized in the brain ventricle, is the major component of the blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier. The choroid plexus produces the cerebrospinal fluid and regulates the components of the cerebrospinal ...

Constitutive activation of canonical Wnt signaling disrupts choroid plexus epithelial fate
bioRxiv, 2021 The choroid plexus secretes cerebrospinal fluid and is critical for the development and function of the brain. In the telencephalon, the choroid plexus epithelium arises from the Wnt - expressing cortical hem.

FGF2 is expressed in human and murine embryonic choroid plexus and affects choroid plexus cell behaviour [PDF]
, 2008 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 ...

Choroid plexus and the blood–cerebrospinal fluid barrier in disease
Fluids and Barriers of the CNS, 2020 The choroid plexus (CP) forming the blood–cerebrospinal fluid (B-CSF) barrier is among the least studied structures of the central nervous system (CNS) despite its clinical importance.

Murine MPDZ-linked hydrocephalus is caused by hyperpermeability of the choroid plexus. [PDF]
, 2019 Though congenital hydrocephalus is heritable, it has been linked only to eight genes, one of which is MPDZ Humans and mice that carry a truncated version of MPDZ incur severe hydrocephalus resulting in acute morbidity and lethality.

The relevance of α-KLOTHO to the central nervous system: Some key questions [PDF]
, 2017 α-Klotho is well described as an anti-aging protein, with critical roles in kidney function as a transmembrane co-receptor for FGF23, and as a soluble factor in serum.

Psammoma bodies as signs of choroid plexus ageing: A morphometric analysis [PDF]
Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2017 Background/Aim. Psammoma bodies (PB) are regarded as benign consequences of ageing in choroid plexus stroma. The aim of this study was to assess the morphometric characteristics of psammoma bodies of all four choroid plexuses during the ageing process ...

Choroid Plexus of the Fourth Ventricle: Review and Anatomic Study Highlighting Anatomical Variations [PDF]
, 2016 Relatively few studies have been performed that analyze the morphology of the choroid plexus of the fourth ventricle. Due to the importance of this tissue as a landmark on imaging and during surgical intervention of the fourth ventricle, the authors ...

Effect of delayed acquisition times on Gadolinium-enhanced MRI of the presumably normal canine brain [PDF]
, 2011 A delay in imaging following intravenous contrast medium administration has been recommended to reduce misdiagnoses. However, the normal variation of contrast enhancement in dogs following a delay has not been characterized.

Method for Primary Epithelial Cell Culture from the Rat Choroid Plexus
Bio-Protocol, 2020 The choroid plexus consists of a network of secretory epithelial cells localized throughout the lateral, third and fourth ventricles of the brain. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is generated by the choroid plexus and released into the ventricular environment.
