The brain continuously produces metabolic waste that must be removed to maintain healthy function. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) plays a central role in this process by carrying away proteins such as ...

Meningeal lymphatic vessels are potential targets to treat brain diseases. Laboratories at Yale and the Paris Brain Institute (Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital, Paris) have imaged brain drainage by ...

The FDA has handed down a Class I label, the agency’s most serious, to a Medtronic recall of medical tubing used to drain a patient’s cerebrospinal fluid. The recall spans more than 45,000 equipment ...

Few scientists doubt that backed-up clearance of detritus from the brain correlates with accumulation of amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles. But which comes first? Data presented at the 9th ...

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, the latest findings provide further insights ...

A. The drawing shows intracranial upstream lymphatic regions #1, #2, and #3 that drain through the nasopharyngeal lymphatic plexus (NPLP) en route to medial deep cervical lymphatics and deep cervical ...
