Impaired meningeal lymphatic drainage in patients with idiopathic Parkinson’s disease

open access: yes, 2021
Animal studies implicate meningeal lymphatic dysfunction in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease (PD). However, there is no direct evidence in humans to support this role1–5. In this study, we

Vascular drivers of cerebrospinal fluid movement and enlarged perivascular spaces

open access: yesAlzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 22, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Perivascular spaces (PVSs) facilitate cerebrospinal fluid flow and waste clearance, which are critical for maintaining brain homeostasis. Enlarged PVSs (ePVSs) are an emerging marker of cerebral small vessel disease and are implicated in protein accumulation, neurodegeneration, and cognitive decline.

DTI‐ALPS Primarily Reflects White Matter Diffusion Dispersion and Microstructural Heterogeneity in Neurodegeneration: Insights From Multi‐Modal MRI

open access: yesHuman Brain Mapping, Volume 47, Issue 14, October 1, 2026.
In a 100‐patient memory‐clinic cohort, DTI‐ALPS was evaluated along with diffusion and microstructural metrics. DTI‐ALPS correlated strongly with mode of anisotropy and orientation dispersion index, and moderately with T1/FLAIR ratio and diamagnetic susceptibility, indicating that DTI‐ALPS mainly reflects white‐matter diffusion complexity rather than ...

Harnessing Natural Killer Cells: From Neuroimmunology to Novel Therapies for Central Nervous System Diseases

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 7, Issue 10, October 2026.
This review delineates the multifaceted roles of natural killer (NK) cells in the central nervous system, spanning direct cytolysis, immunoregulation, and crosstalk with the brain microenvironment. We evaluate the translational potential and challenges of NK cell immunotherapies for a spectrum of neurological conditions.

Analyzing the Feasibility of Surgical Approaches to Improve Cerebral Lymphatic Circulation in Alzheimer Disease

open access: yesGuoji laonian yixue zazhi
Traditionally, it was believed that the human brain lacked lymphatic vessels. However, recent studies have progressively confirmed the existence of meningeal lymphatic vessels and the glymphatic system.

Integrating DCE‐MRI‐Based Dural Drainage Function Indicators into Machine Learning Models for Improved Intracranial Tumor Prognosis

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 7, Issue 10, October 2026.
We integrated DCE‐MRI‐based dural drainage function indicators (DDFIs) that reflect meningeal lymphatic vessels (mLVs) function into XGBoost models to predict the prognosis of intracranial malignant tumors. In a 2.5‐year follow‐up cohort of 100 patients, DDFIs remarkably improved the model's predictive performance, with a more significant enhancement ...

Mucosal‐Associated Invariant T Cells in Health and Disease

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 7, Issue 10, October 2026.
The roles of MAIT cells in health and disease and their therapeutic applications. In healthy individuals, riboflavin metabolites secreted by commensal bacteria at mucosal sites are presented by MR1, leading to the activation of MAIT cells. Activated MAIT cells can maintain the barrier integrity of mucosal tissues in a steady state or migrate to the ...

Bundle structures inside the deep cervical lymphatic vessels of mice

open access: yesScientific Reports
The lymphatic system plays a crucial role in immune function and the removal of cellular waste. Recent studies have highlighted the presence of primo vessels (PVs) inside lymphatic vessels, distinct from conventional lymphatic tissues, yet their ...

Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors: Mechanisms, Efficacy, Toxicities and Applications for the Treatment of Human Diseases

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 7, Issue 10, October 2026.
BTK inhibitors suppress malignant B‐cell signaling while simultaneously reshaping immune regulation through effects on T cells and the tumor microenvironment. These mechanisms support combination immunotherapy strategies and also underlie the expanding application of BTK inhibitors in solid tumors, autoimmune and inflammatory diseases.
