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.

Advancing insights into in vivo meningeal lymphatic vessels with stereoscopic wide-field photoacoustic microscopy. [PDF]
AbstractMeningeal lymphatic vessels (mLVs) play a pivotal role in regulating metabolic waste from cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). However, the current limitations in field of view and resolution of existing imaging techniques impede understanding the stereoscopic morphology and dynamic behavior of mLVs in vivo.

Impairment of the intracranial lymphatic system in Parkinson's disease: a combined study of the meningeal lymphatics vessels and glymphatic system based on noninvasive neuroimaging. [PDF]
Abstract Background: The role of intracranial lymphatic circulation in Parkinson's disease (PD) causes more and more concerns nowadays. The drainage function of meningeal lymphatic vessels (MLVs) and the clearance capability of the glymphatic system have been demonstrated to associate with development of PD.

Introduction: Until recently, there was very little known about the brain’s waste removal system. Unlike the peripheral organ systems, the CNS lacked a clearly defined lymphatic vasculature and waste clearance mechanism.

Human and nonhuman primate meninges harbor lymphatic vessels that can be visualized noninvasively by MRI [PDF]
Here, we report the existence of meningeal lymphatic vessels in human and nonhuman primates (common marmoset monkeys) and the feasibility of noninvasively imaging and mapping them in vivo with high-resolution, clinical MRI.

Morphology of the glymphatic and meningeal lymphatic structures of the bottlenose dolphin [PDF]
In humans and mice, the glymphatic system, critical for central nervous system (CNS) health, relies on cardiorespiratory coupling, but has not yet been investigated in a diving mammal that routinely experiences apnea, bradycardia, and peripheral ...

Meningeal Lymphatic and Glymphatic Structures in a Pelagic Delphinid (Delphinus delphis) [PDF]
The glymphatic system, an analog of the peripheral lymphatic system in the brain, and the meningeal lymphatic system are critical to central nervous system health.

Impaired meningeal lymphatic vessel development worsens stroke outcome [PDF]
The discovery of meningeal lymphatic vessels (LVs) has sparked interest in identifying their role in diseases of the central nervous system. Similar to peripheral LVs, meningeal LVs depend on vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-3 (VEGFR3) signaling for development.

Incorporating meningeal immunity into vaccine development [PDF]
Meningeal immunity, a less-studied aspect of neuroimmune interactions, has recently come under the spotlight owing to the characterization of meningeal lymphatic vessels draining of the central nervous system (CNS).
