Protective borders between the brain and the blood weaken with age. This includes the barrier formed by tightly linked epithelial cells in the choroid plexus, which generates cerebrospinal fluid. In ...

A grape-like structure in the brain called the choroid plexus becomes enlarged and shows increased accumulation of abnormal inflammatory molecular signaling in people with Alzheimer's disease, ...

Research found the choroid plexus and cerebrospinal fluid play a key role in maintaining a pool of newly born neurons to repair the adult brain after injury. University of Cincinnati researchers have ...

The human brain, like the brain of other mammals, is known to start developing before birth, via a coordinated sequence of molecular and cellular processes. Neuroscience studies have found that the ...

Scientists found the choroid plexus and cerebrospinal fluid play a key role in maintaining a pool of newly born neurons to repair the adult brain after injury. University of Cincinnati researchers ...

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 ...

A study reveals specialized base barrier cells in the choroid plexus that seal off the brain and cerebrospinal fluid. During severe inflammation, this barrier becomes compromised and potentially ...

University of Cincinnati researchers have pioneered an animal model that sheds light on the role an understudied organ in the brain has in repairing damage caused by stroke. The research was published ...
