Meningeal lymphatics affect microglia responses and anti-Aβ immunotherapy. [PDF]
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most prevalent cause of dementia1. Although there is no effective treatment for AD, passive immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies against amyloid beta (Aβ) is a promising therapeutic strategy2,3.

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.

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.

Demonstration of chemotherapeutic-mediated changes in meningeal lymphatics in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo. [PDF]
Systemic chemotherapy often affects cells beyond the tumor, raising concerns about their impact on peripheral tissues, including the central nervous system (CNS).

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 Drives Macrophage Clearance via CCL2-CCR2 Axis After Cerebral Ischemia. [PDF]
The mechanisms underlying meningeal lymphatic vessel (mLV)-mediated immune cell clearance after stroke remain unclear. Using a mouse middle cerebral artery occlusion model, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing to analyze post-ischemic meningeal ...

Assessment of Meningeal Lymphatics in the Parasagittal Dural Space: A Prospective Feasibility Study Using Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging. [PDF]
Objective: Meningeal lymphatic vessels are predominantly located in the parasagittal dural space (PSD); these vessels drain interstitial fluids out of the brain and contribute to the glymphatic system.

The Glymphatic System and Meningeal Lymphatics: Current Understandings and Future Perspectives. [PDF]
The central nervous system (CNS) maintains homeostasis and immune surveillance through a recently defined brain‐wide clearance network: the glymphatic–lymphatic axis. This system couples the intramural glymphatic pathway, responsible for convective fluid

Apolipoprotein E4 and meningeal lymphatics in Alzheimer disease: a conceptual framework. [PDF]
The potential existence and roles of the meningeal lymphatic system in normal and pathological brain function have been a long-standing enigma. Recent evidence suggests that meningeal lymphatic vessels are present in both the mouse and human brain; in ...

Impaired meningeal lymphatic vessel development worsens stroke outcome
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 ...
