The lymphatic drainage systems in the brain: a novel target for ischemic stroke?
Recent studies have proposed three lymphatic drainage systems in the brain, that is, the glymphatic system, the intramural periarterial drainage pathway, and meningeal lymphatic vessels, whose roles in various neurological diseases have been widely ...

Technical Developments and Ex Vivo Demonstration in a Mouse Model of Neuroinflammation [PDF]
Neuroinflammation can be monitored using fluorine-19 (19F)-containing nanoparticles and 19F MRI. Previously we studied neuroinflammation in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) using room temperature (RT) 19F radiofrequency (RF) coils and low ...

Anatomic evidence shows that lymphatic drainage exists in the pituitary to loop the cerebral lymphatic circulation [PDF]
Respiratory infections can result in intracranial infections and unknown neurological symptoms. The central nervous system lacks classical meningeal lymphatic (circulation) drainage, and the exact underlying mechanisms of how immune cells from the ...

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.

Significance of developmental meningeal lymphatic dysfunction in experimental post-traumatic injury
Understanding the pathological mechanisms unfolding after chronic traumatic brain injury (TBI) could reveal new therapeutic entry points. During the post-TBI sequel, the involvement of cerebrospinal fluid drainage through the meningeal lymphatic vessels ...

Neuroinflammation-Driven Lymphangiogenesis in CNS Diseases
The central nervous system (CNS) undergoes immunosurveillance despite the lack of conventional antigen presenting cells and lymphatic vessels in the CNS parenchyma. Additionally, the CNS is bathed in a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).

Brain interference: Revisiting the role of IFNγ in the central nervous system [PDF]
Interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine, first described as a secreted molecule capable of interfering with viral replication. Since then, numerous other important actions in the context of the immune response to invading pathogens ...

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia and the central nervous system: a clinical and pathological study. [PDF]
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia is the most common human leukemia but infrequently causes neurologic symptoms. We have reviewed all previously reported cases of chronic lymphocytic leukemia in the CNS along with three new cases; one patient was diagnosed ...
