Central nervous system insulin signaling can influence the rate of insulin influx into brain
Insulin transport across the blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a highly regulated, saturable process, known to be affected by many peripheral substrates including insulin itself and triglycerides. This is in contra... (Source: Cerebrospinal Fluid Research)

Movement of cerebrospinal fluid tracer into brain parenchyma and outflow to nasal mucosa is reduced at 24 h but not 2 weeks post-stroke in mice
Recent data indicates that cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dynamics are disturbed after stroke. Our lab has previously shown that intracranial pressure rises dramatically 24 h after experimental stroke and that this... (Source: Cerebrospinal Fluid Research)

Direct association with the vascular basement membrane is a frequent feature of myelinating oligodendrocytes in the neocortex
Oligodendrocyte lineage cells interact with the vasculature in the gray matter. Physical and functional interactions between blood vessels and oligodendrocyte precursor cells play an essential role in both the... (Source: Cerebrospinal Fluid Research)

Filter exchange imaging with crusher gradient modelling detects increased blood –brain barrier water permeability in response to mild lung infection
Blood –brain barrier (BBB) dysfunction occurs in many brain diseases, and there is increasing evidence to suggest that it is an early process in dementia which may be exacerbated by peripheral infection. Filter... (Source: Cerebrospinal Fluid Research)

The CLDN5 gene at the blood-brain barrier in health and disease
The CLDN5 gene encodes claudin-5 (CLDN-5) that is expressed in endothelial cells and forms tight junctions which limit the passive diffusions of ions and solutes. The blood –brain barrier (BBB), composed of brain ... (Source: Cerebrospinal Fluid Research)

Immunohistochemical visualization of lymphatic vessels in human dura mater: methodological perspectives
Despite greatly renewed interest concerning meningeal lymphatic function over recent years, the lymphatic structures of human dura mater have been less characterized. The available information derives exclusiv... (Source: Cerebrospinal Fluid Research)

Large-scale morphometry of the subarachnoid space of the optic nerve
The meninges, formed by dura, arachnoid and pia mater, cover the central nervous system and provide important barrier functions. Located between arachnoid and pia mater, the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)-filled su... (Source: Cerebrospinal Fluid Research)

Estimates of the permeability of extra-cellular pathways through the astrocyte endfoot sheath
Astrocyte endfoot processes are believed to cover all micro-vessels in the brain cortex and may play a significant role in fluid and substance transport into and out of the brain parenchyma. Detailed fluid mec... (Source: Cerebrospinal Fluid Research)

Morphological and mitochondrial changes in murine choroid plexus epithelial cells during healthy aging
Choroid plexuses (ChPs) are intraventricular structures mainly composed by specialized epithelial cells interconnected by tight junctions that establish the blood-cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) barrier. ChPs are es... (Source: Cerebrospinal Fluid Research)

Are standing osmotic gradients the main driver of cerebrospinal fluid production? A computational analysis
The mechanisms of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) production by the ventricular choroid plexus (ChP) have not been fully deciphered. One prominent hypothesized mechanism is trans-epithelial water transport mediated ... (Source: Cerebrospinal Fluid Research)

Usefulness of intravoxel incoherent motion MRI for visualizing slow cerebrospinal fluid motion
In the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dynamics, the pulsations of cerebral arteries and brain is considered the main driving force for the reciprocating bidirectional CSF movements. However, measuring these complex... (Source: Cerebrospinal Fluid Research)
