Meningeal lymphatics as a therapeutic target for neurodegenerative disorders [PDF]
Advancements in visualization methods have brought the meningeal lymphatic system (MLS) into the spotlight. The meningeal lymphatic vessels (mLVs) play a vital role in draining cerebrospinal fluid and immune cells, acting as a central hub for immune ...

Meningeal lymphatic dysfunction mediates postoperative sleep deprivation-induced cognitive decline via impaired neuroinflammatory clearance [PDF]
Postoperative sleep deprivation (PSD) exacerbates perioperative neurocognitive disorders (PND) through unresolved neuroinflammation, yet the underlying mechanisms remain elusive.

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 ...

Gene expression in meningeal lymphatic endothelial cells following traumatic brain injury in mice.
Meningeal lymphatic vessels transport both the cerebrospinal fluid and interstitial fluid to the deep cervical lymph nodes. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is accompanied by meningeal injury.

Cells with Many Talents: Lymphatic Endothelial Cells in the Brain Meninges
The lymphatic system serves key functions in maintaining fluid homeostasis, the uptake of dietary fats in the small intestine, and the trafficking of immune cells. Almost all vascularized peripheral tissues and organs contain lymphatic vessels. The brain

Research Progress on Intracranial Lymphatic Circulation and Its Involvement in Disorders
The lymphatic system is an important part of the circulatory system, as an auxiliary system of the vein, which has the functions of immune defense, maintaining the stability of the internal environment, and regulating the pressure of the tissue.

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. Here we characterize the effect of stroke on meningeal LVs,

Characteristic Features of Deep Brain Lymphatic Vessels and Their Regulation by Chronic Stress
Studies have demonstrated that a functional network of meningeal lymphatic vessels exists in the brain. However, it is unknown whether lymphatic vessels could also extend deep into the brain parenchyma and whether the vessels could be regulated by ...
