THE FINE STRUCTURE OF EPENDYMA IN THE BRAIN OF THE RAT [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Cell Biology, 1963
The ciliated ependyma of the rat brain consists of a sheet of epithelial cells, the luminal surface of which is reflected over ciliary shafts and numerous evaginations of irregular dimensions.

Ependyma: Normal and pathological. A review of the literature☆

Brain Research Reviews, 1985
A review of the available literature reveals that proliferation of ependyma occurs during embryological and early postnatal periods of development. Turnover, however, declines significantly during postnatal life and only low levels of residual activity persist into adulthood under normal conditions.

Role of human fetal ependyma.

Pediatric Neurology, 1992
Fetal ependyma is an active secretory structure for the programming of developmental events, including the arrest of neuronogenesis, the guidance of axonal growth cones, motor neuron differentiation, and probably also the maintenance and transformation of radial glial cells that guide migratory neuroblasts. The floor plate, induced by the notochord, is

Histochemistry and immunocytochemistry of the developing ependyma and choroid plexus

Microscopy Research and Technique, 1998
The adult human ependyma expresses no intermediate filament proteins or secretory proteins; the fetal ependyma shows strong immunocytochemical (ICC) expression of vimentin, glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), cytokeratins (CKs) of high molecular weight, glycoproteins, and S-100beta protein.

Structure and function of the ependymal barrier and diseases associated with ependyma disruption

open access: yesTissue Barriers, 2014
The neuroepithelium is a germinal epithelium containing progenitor cells that produce almost all of the central nervous system cells, including the ependyma.

Astrocytes acquire morphological and functional characteristics of ependymal cells following disruption of ependyma in hydrocephalus

open access: yesActa Neuropathologica, 2012
Hydrocephalic hyh mutant mice undergo a programmed loss of the neuroepithelium/ependyma followed by a reaction of periventricular astrocytes, which form a new cell layer covering the denuded ventricular surface. We present a comparative morphological and

Ependyma of the third ventricle in relation to pituitary function.

Progress in Brain Research, 1972
Publisher Summary This chapter presents observations that describe the ependymal wall of the ventral hypothalamus and point to its possible involvement in neuroendocrine control. In recent years, histological and histochemical studies have shown that this wall contains cellular elements called “ependyma” that are diverse in structure and metabolism ...
