Increased volume of the choroid plexus, which produces and secretes cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), was tied to cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease, a retrospective study showed. Among 532 adults ...

New work offers an unprecedented real-time view of the choroid plexus in a mouse model, providing a glimpse of how disturbances of the mother's immune system during pregnancy disrupt the developing ...

The choroid plexus, a largely ignored structure in the brain that produces the cerebrospinal fluid, is an important regulator of adult neural stem cells, research indicates. The study also shows that ...

Inflammaging, describes the increase in an inflammatory alteration in the brain, due to aging and predicts the morbidity and mortality in older humans. To understand the origins, scientists have ...

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, ...

The choroid plexus, which makes up the blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier in the central nervous system (CNS), lines the ventricles, produces cerebrospinal fluid, and protects the brain via a physical ...

It shows that the choroid plexus can act as a conduit for inflammation, which can result from maternal infection, stress from the environment, and other factors. A window on the choroid plexus Because ...

The CSF is produced by the choroid plexus. The research team led by Prof. Fiona Doetsch at the Biozentrum of the University of Basel has now shown that the choroid plexus is a key component of 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 ...

Floating in fluid deep in the brain are small, little understood fronds of tissue. Two new studies reveal that these miniature organs are a hotbed of immune system activity. This activity may protect ...

Prof. Fiona Doetsch's research team at the Biozentrum, University of Basel, has discovered that the choroid plexus, a largely ignored structure in the brain that produces the cerebrospinal fluid, is ...
