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

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.

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

Meningeal lymphatic drainage: novel insights into central nervous system disease
In recent years, increasing evidence has suggested that meningeal lymphatic drainage plays a significant role in central nervous system (CNS) diseases. Studies have indicated that CNS diseases and conditions associated with meningeal lymphatic drainage ...

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.

Central nervous system lymphatic network: from the maintenance of brain homeostasis to emerging therapeutic perspectives in neurodegenerative diseases [PDF]
The brain was long been regarded as an immune-privileged organ with a lack of lymphatic drainage, partly because of the absence of parenchymal lymphatic vessels.

Lymphatic-Immune Microenvironment Engineering via Rapamycin-Eluting Nanofibers for Meningeal Repair and Neuroprotection in Traumatic Brain Injury Rats [PDF]
While current dural repair patches achieve mechanical sealing to prevent cerebrospinal fluid leakage, they fail to address the critical pathological cascades of traumatic brain injury, including structural disruption of meningeal lymphatic vessels and ...

Impaired meningeal lymphatic drainage in Listeria monocytogenes infection
Previous studies have demonstrated an association between lymphatic vessels and diseases caused by bacterial infections. Listeria monocytogenes (LM) bacterial infection can affect multiple organs, including the intestine, brain, liver and spleen, which ...
