Specialized brain cells in the hypothalamus act as a disposal route for tau protein, shuttling it from cerebrospinal fluid into the bloodstream. When those cells break down, tau accumulates in the ...

Researchers identify tanycytes as a critical mechanism for clearing toxic tau protein from the brain, offering a new target ...

Immune cells within the cerebrospinal fluid can offer a glimpse of the inflammatory conditions within the brain. According to a study published December 7 in Cell, those immune cells markedly change ...

Using single-cell sequencing, researchers found distinct immune profiles in different CNS tumors, highlighting its potential as a prognostic tool.

Cerebrospinal fluid is a watery liquid that continually circulates through the brain’s ventricles and around the surface of the brain and spinal cord. It acts like a cushion that helps protect the ...

Problems with the brain's waste clearance system could underlie many cases of dementia and help explain why poor sleep patterns and cardiovascular risk factors such as high blood pressure increase the ...

“Latent herpes viruses have the potential to reactivate in people living with HIV which can lead to neuroinflammation and impact long-term brain health,” said Shirin Mazumder, MD, infectious diseases ...
