Meningeal lymphatic vessels at the skull base are found to be the major route for brain clearance. Reporting to see their integrity is impaired with aging, this study highlights its role in the ...

The 2015 discovery of lymphatic vessels in the brain’s meninges threw open a door to seeing how this still-mysterious organ clears waste. Subsequent work showed that these vessels, which reside in the ...

The waste of the brain is drained by the CSF and exits the brain through the mLVs at the skull base (basal mLVs). The basal mLVs are connected to the lymphatic system through a hole in the skull ...

Research by scientists at the University of Virginia (UVA) and Virginia Tech suggests that boosting the flow of fluid and macromolecules through a series of recently discovered lymphatic channels in ...

Massage might help your brain flow regain its mojo. On June 4 in Nature, researchers led by Gou Young Koh at the Institute for Basic Science in Daejeon, South Korea, mapped the labyrinth of lymphatics ...

Researchers at the University of Rochester and the University of Copenhagen have identified a previously unknown component of brain anatomy in mice and in humans that acts as both a protective barrier ...

Scientists at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) have uncovered a non-invasive method to boost the brain's natural waste drainage system-a discovery that could open new avenues for tackling ...

Hydrocephalus is an excess of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain’s ventricles. Surgery is the first-line and most effective treatment. The two primary surgeries are the Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) ...

Stem cells in the brain can divide and mature into neurons participating in various brain functions, including memory. In a paper published in the journal ‘Cell Stem Cell’, scientists at Helmholtz ...
