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.

Background Abnormal aggregation of brain α-synuclein is a central step in the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease (PD), thus, it is reliable to promote the clearance of α-synuclein to prevent and treat PD.

Brain lymphatic vessels accompanying meningeal arteries in the human
Introduction: Recent studies showed the connection between cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and deep cervical lymph nodes (dCLN) via lymphatic vessels (LV)s. These LVs accompany dural sinuses, cranial nerves, and arteries.

Background Meningeal lymphatic vessels (mLVs) play a critical role in clearing erythrocytes from the subarachnoid space and immune cells from the brain parenchyma following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). However, the drainage function of mLVs is impaired

Impairment of the Glymphatic Pathway and Putative Meningeal Lymphatic Vessels in the Aging Human
OBJECTIVE: Aging is a major risk factor for numerous neurological disorders, and the mechanisms underlying brain aging remain elusive. Recent animal studies demonstrated a tight relationship between impairment of the glymphatic pathway, meningeal ...

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

Meningeal lymphatic vessels regulate brain tumor drainage and immunity. [PDF]
AbstractRecent studies have shown that meningeal lymphatic vessels (MLVs), which are located both dorsally and basally beneath the skull, provide a route for draining macromolecules and trafficking immune cells from the central nervous system (CNS) into cervical lymph nodes (CLNs), and thus represent a potential therapeutic target for treating ...

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 ...

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. Under normal conditions,
