Glymphatics and meningeal lymphatics unlock the brain-immune code [PDF]
The central nervous system (CNS) was once perceived as entirely shielded from the immune system, protected behind the blood-brain barrier and thought to lack lymphatic drainage. However, recent evidence has challenged many dogmas in neuroimmunology.

Functional aspects of meningeal lymphatics in ageing and Alzheimer’s disease [PDF]
Ageing is a major risk factor for many neurological pathologies, but its mechanisms remain unclear. Unlike other tissues, the parenchyma of the central nervous system (CNS) lacks lymphatic vasculature and waste products are removed partly through a paravascular route.

Meningeal lymphatics-microglia axis regulates synaptic physiology [PDF]
Meningeal lymphatics serve as an outlet for cerebrospinal fluid, and their dysfunction is associated with various neurodegenerative conditions. Previous studies have demonstrated that dysfunctional meningeal lymphatics evoke behavioral changes, but the neural mechanisms underlying these changes have remained elusive.

Meningeal lymphatic drainage: novel insights into central nervous system disease
In recent years, increasing evidence has suggested that meningeal lymphatic drainage plays a significant role in central nervous system (CNS) diseases. Studies have indicated that CNS diseases and conditions associated with meningeal lymphatic drainage ...

Meningeal Lymphatics: A Review and Future Directions From a Clinical Perspective [PDF]
The recent discovery of lymphatic vessels in the meningeal layers calls into question the known mechanisms of fluid and macromolecule homeostasis and immunoregulation within the central nervous system.

Impaired Meningeal Lymphatics and Glymphatic Pathway in Patients with White Matter Hyperintensity [PDF]
White matter hyperintensity (WMH) represents a critical global medical concern linked to cognitive decline and dementia, yet its underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood.

Non-invasive modulation of meningeal lymphatics ameliorates ageing and Alzheimer’s disease-associated pathology and cognition in mice [PDF]
Meningeal lymphatic vessels (mLVs) have been shown to be involved in amyloid beta (Aβ) clearance, which is considered as a potential therapeutic target for Alzheimer’s disease (AD).

Meningeal lymphatic architecture and drainage dynamics surrounding the human middle meningeal artery
Summary: The anatomical basis of cerebrospinal and interstitial fluid clearance along the human ventral meninges remains poorly defined. Here, we present the in vivo and ex vivo evidence of a distinct CSF-ISF drainage compartment surrounding the middle ...
