The Underlying Role of the Glymphatic System and Meningeal Lymphatic Vessels in Cerebral Small Vessel Disease [PDF]
There is a growing prevalence of vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) worldwide, and most research has suggested that cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) is the main contributor to VCI. Several potential physiopathologic mechanisms have been proven to be

Lymph Flow Induces the Postnatal Formation of Mature and Functional Meningeal Lymphatic Vessels [PDF]
Recently, the presence of lymphatics has been demonstrated and characterized in the dura mater, which is in contrast to the well-accepted view indicating the lack of a classical lymphatic drainage system of the central nervous system (CNS). Moreover, the

Role of meningeal lymphatic vessels in brain homeostasis [PDF]
Meningeal lymphatic vessels (MLVs) form an important bridging structure between the brain and periphery, which drains cerebral metabolites in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and brain antigens to deep cervical lymph nodes (dCLNs), to maintain brain homeostasis.

Subdural haematomas drain into the extracranial lymphatic system through the meningeal lymphatic vessels [PDF]
Subdural haematomas (SDHs) are characterized by rapidly or gradually accumulated haematomas between the arachnoid and dura mater. The mechanism of haematoma clearance has not been clearly elucidated until now.

Long-term exercise enhances meningeal lymphatic vessel plasticity and drainage in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease [PDF]
Background Meningeal lymphatic drainage is crucial for the clearance of amyloid β (Aβ), supporting the maintenance of brain homeostasis. This makes it a promising therapeutic target for Alzheimer's disease (AD).

The Interplay between Meningeal Lymphatic Vessels and Neuroinflammation in Neurodegenerative Diseases. [PDF]
Abstract: Meningeal lymphatic vessels (MLVs) are essential for the drainage of cerebrospinal fluid, macromolecules, and immune cells in the central nervous system. They play critical roles in modulating neuroinflammation in neurodegenerative diseases. Dysfunctional MLVs have been demonstrated to increase neuroinflammation by horizontally blocking the ...

Overview of the meningeal lymphatic vessels in aging and central nervous system disorders. [PDF]
AbstractIn the aging process and central nervous system (CNS) diseases, the functions of the meningeal lymphatic vessels (MLVs) are impaired. Alterations in MLVs have been observed in aging-related neurodegenerative diseases, brain tumors, and even cerebrovascular disease. These findings reveal a new perspective on aging and CNS disorders and provide a

The meningeal lymphatic vessels and the glymphatic system: Potential therapeutic targets in neurological disorders. [PDF]
The recent discovery of the meningeal lymphatic vessels (mLVs) and glymphatic pathways has challenged the long-lasting dogma that the central nervous system (CNS) lacks a lymphatic system and therefore does not interact with peripheral immunity. This discovery has reshaped our understanding of mechanisms underlying CNS drainage.
