A study reveals specialized base barrier cells in the choroid plexus that seal off the brain and cerebrospinal fluid. During ...

Once viewed merely as a producer of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) bathing the brain and spinal cord, the choroid plexus is now known to be a key player in brain development and immunity. These fronds ...

VIB and Ghent University researchers have identified and characterized a previously unknown cellular barrier in the brain, ...

A new study reveals a hidden brain defense: base barrier cells. These cells form a molecular seal in the choroid plexus, acting as a gatekeeper against systemic inflammation and potential ...

There is still a lot we don’t know about the brain, and especially about two small bits of tissue deep within it called the choroid plexus. This structure is very difficult to observe because of its ...

The increased size of, and lesser blood supply to, a key brain structure in patients with Long COVID tracks with known blood markers of Alzheimer's disease and greater levels of dementia, a new study ...

Long Covid could trigger changes in the brain that are similar to Alzheimer’s, new study says - Approximately 20 million Americans have been diagnosed with long Covid ...

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 ...
