How Do Meningeal Lymphatic Vessels Drain the CNS? [PDF]
The many interactions between the nervous and the immune systems, which are active in both physiological and pathological states, have recently become more clearly delineated with the discovery of a meningeal lymphatic system capable of carrying fluid, immune cells, and macromolecules from the central nervous system (CNS) to the draining deep cervical ...

Bidirectional roles of meningeal lymphatic vessels in brain metastases: friend and foe. [PDF]
Brain metastases constitute the most prevalent intracranial malignancies. Despite recent therapeutic advances, patient prognoses remain poor, largely due to significant treatment resistance and a highly restrictive tumor microenvironment. The rediscovery of meningeal lymphatic vessels (MLVs) has provided new insights into how the brain interacts with ...

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 lymphatics in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease and multiple sclerosis was ...

The role of the meningeal lymphatic system in local meningeal inflammation and trigeminal nociception [PDF]
A system of lymphatic vessels has been recently characterized in the meninges, with a postulated role in ‘cleaning’ the brain via cerebral fluid drainage.

Podoplanin immunopositive lymphatic vessels at the implant interface in a rat model of osteoporotic fractures [PDF]
Insertion of bone substitution materials accelerates healing of osteoporotic fractures. Biodegradable materials are preferred for application in osteoporotic patients to avoid a second surgery for implant replacement. Degraded implant fragments are often

Lymphatic vascular morphogenesis in development, physiology, and disease [PDF]
The lymphatic vasculature constitutes a highly specialized part of the vascular system that is essential for the maintenance of interstitial fluid balance, uptake of dietary fat, and immune response. Recently, there has been an increased awareness of the

Tumor-induced myeloid cell plasticity toward lymphatic endothelium [PDF]
Tumor-associated lymphangiogenesis contributes to tumor progression by regulating interstitial fluid pressure, transporting immune cells to the tumor site and providing a route for metastatic dissemination.

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.

A Role for All-Trans-Retinoic Acid in the Early Steps of Lymphatic Vasculature Development [PDF]
The molecular mechanisms that regulate the earliest steps of lymphatic vascular system development are unknown. To identify regulators of lymphatic competence and commitment, we used an in vitro vascular assay with mouse embryonic stem cell-derived ...

Highly developed meningeal lymphatics remove waste products from the brain. Disruption of meningeal lymphatic vessels in a mouse model of amyloid pathology (5XFAD) accelerates the accumulation of amyloid plaques in the meninges and brain, and causes ...
