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.

Automatic Segmentation and Visualization of Choroid in OCT with Knowledge Infused Deep Learning [PDF]
, 2020 The choroid provides oxygen and nourishment to the outer retina thus is related to the pathology of various ocular diseases. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is advantageous in visualizing and quantifying the choroid in vivo. (1) The lower boundary of the choroid (choroid-sclera interface) in OCT is fuzzy, which makes the automatic segmentation ...

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 ...

A Meta-Learning Approach for Medical Image Registration [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Non-rigid registration is a necessary but challenging task in medical imaging studies. Recently, unsupervised registration models have shown good performance, but they often require a large-scale training dataset and long training times. Therefore, in real world application where only dozens to hundreds of image pairs are available, existing models ...

A large choroid plexus cyst diagnosed with magnetic resonance imaging in utero: a case report [PDF]
, 2009 The incidence of choroid plexus cysts represents approximately 1% of fetal anomalies. We describe a case in which fetal ultrasonography and fetal magnetic resonance scans were used to identify a large choroid cyst in a fetus without the use of a ...

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.

Waveform analysis of human retinal and choroidal blood flow with laser Doppler holography [PDF]
, 2021 Laser Doppler holography was introduced as a full-field imaging technique to measure blood flow in the retina and choroid with an as yet unrivaled temporal resolution. We here investigate separating the different contributions to the power Doppler signal in order to isolate the flow waveforms of vessels in the posterior pole of the human eye.

The wilms tumor gene wt1a contributes to blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier function in zebrafish [PDF]
, 2022 The Wilms tumor suppressor gene Wt1 encodes a zinc finger transcription factor, which is highly conserved among vertebrates. It is a key regulator of urogenital development and homeostasis but also plays a role in other organs including the spleen and ...
