The behaviour of both Listeria monocytogenes and rat ciliated ependymal cells is altered during their co-culture.

PLoS ONE, 2010
BackgroundCiliated ependymal cells line the cerebral ventricles and aqueducts separating the infected CSF from the brain parenchyma in meningitis.Principal findingsInvestigation of the interaction of Listeria monocytogenes with cultured rat brain ...

Presence of calmodulin and NADPH-diaphorase activity but not of neuronal nitric oxide synthase in the subcommissural organ of the Mongolian gerbil.

, 1995
The subcommissural organ (SCO) and the ventricular ependyma of the third ventricle of the Mongolian gerbil (Meriones unguiculatus) exhibit a highly positive histochemical reaction to NADPH-diaphorase and a considerable immunocytochemical expression of ...

The inner CSF–brain barrier: developmentally controlled access to the brain via intercellular junctions.

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2015
In the adult the interface between the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and the brain is lined by the ependymal cells, which are joined by gap junctions. These intercellular connections do not provide a diffusional restrain between the two compartments. However

Targeting choroid plexus epithelia and ventricular ependyma for drug delivery to the central nervous system [PDF]

, 2011
BACKGROUND: Because the choroid plexus (CP) is uniquely suited to control the composition of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), there may be therapeutic benefits to increasing the levels of biologically active proteins in CSF to modulate central nervous system ...

The Effect of Steroid Treatment on Lipocortin Immunoreactivity of Rat Brain

Mediators of Inflammation, 1994
Lipocortin-1, lipocortin-2 and lipocortin-5 were immunohistochemically assessed in rats. Apart from animals receiving no treatment, other animals received pretreatment with methylprednisolone, or the 21-aminosteroid U-74389F.

Brown Heroin-Associated Candida albicans Ventriculitis and Endopthalmitis Treated with Voriconazole

Case Reports in Neurology, 2016
Chronic meningitis and ventriculitis are defined as inflammatory pleocytoses in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and ependyma that persists for at least 1 month without spontaneous resolution.

Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells and its Exosomes in Posthemorrhagic Hydrocephalus: A Focus on Edema and Ependymal Repair [PDF]

, 2023
Background Germinal matrix hemorrhages and intraventricular hemorrhages (GMH/IVH) often lead to posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus (PHH), a severe cause of morbidity and mortality in premature neonates.

Opposite effects of a high-fat diet and calorie restriction on ciliary neurotrophic factor signalling in the mouse hypothalamus

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2013
In the mouse hypothalamus, ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) is mainly expressed by ependymal cells and tanycytes of the ependymal layer covering the third ventricle.

Phorbol ester induced changes in tight and adherens junctions in the choroid plexus epithelium and in the ependyma

, 2000
The molecular composition and functional properties of cell-cell junctions of choroid plexus epithelial cells and the ependyma of the lateral ventricular wall were investigated in the rat brain.
