Transcriptome analysis of the ependymal barrier during murine neurocysticercosis

Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2012
Background Central nervous system (CNS) barriers play a pivotal role in the protection and homeostasis of the CNS by enabling the exchange of metabolites while restricting the entry of xenobiotics, blood cells and blood-borne macromolecules.

Hydrocephalus due to multiple ependymal malformations is caused by mutations in the MPDZ gene

Acta Neuropathologica Communications, 2017
Congenital hydrocephalus is considered as either acquired due to haemorrhage, infection or neoplasia or as of developmental nature and is divided into two subgroups, communicating and obstructive.

Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza A (H5N1) Caused Mass Death Among Black‐Legged Kittiwakes (Rissa tridactyla) in Norway, 2023

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
In 2023, highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) heavily affected gulls in Europe. In July, a mass mortality event was reported in the black‐legged kittiwake (Rissa tridactyla) breeding colony at Ekkerøy in Northern Norway. The cause was confirmed to be infection with the HPAI H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b virus, genotype EA‐2022‐BB. We describe the outbreak in

Engineering Topographical Cues to Enhance Neural Regeneration in Spinal Cord Injury: Overcoming Challenges and Advancing Therapies

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 35, Issue 45, November 5, 2025.
Spinal cord injury (SCI) poses significant challenges for regeneration due to a series of secondary injury mechanisms. How to use biomaterial approach to target the failed regeneration after SCI remains a critical challenge. This review systematically evaluates current strategies to optimize biomaterial topographies for neurite outgrowth, axonal ...

Human Ependyma as a Sensory Organ

Archivum histologicum japonicum, 1954
No nerve cells have been proved in the human ependyma.The sensory fibres supplying the ependyma probably come from the meningeal nerves originating in sensory cerebral nerves. They penetrate into the SILVI's duct through its caudal dorsal side and into the fourth ventricle from its lateral side near the central canal in the medulla oblongata, in small ...

A Rare Case of an Infant with Left Hemiparesis: A Case Report of Bilateral Open-lip Schizencephaly [PDF]

Malaysian Family Physician, 2020
Schizencephaly is a very rare congenital birth defect. It is characterized by a cortical brain malformation that manifests as a grey-matter-lined cleft extending from the ependyma to the piamater.

Ependymal cell lineage reprogramming as a potential therapeutic intervention for hydrocephalus

EMBO Molecular Medicine
Hydrocephalus is a common neurological condition, characterized by the excessive accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the cerebral ventricles. Primary treatments for hydrocephalus mainly involve neurosurgical cerebrospinal fluid diversion, which hold ...

Streptococcus pneumoniae Damages the Ciliated Ependyma of the Brain during Meningitis

Infection and Immunity, 2003
Streptococcus pneumoniae meningitis remains a disease with a poor outcome for the patient. A region of the brain that has been neglected in the study of meningitis is the ependyma, which has been identified as a location of adult pluripotent cells.
