Meningeal lymphatic vessels at the skull base are found to be the major route for brain clearance. Reporting to see their integrity is impaired with aging, this study highlights its role in the ...

The 2015 discovery of lymphatic vessels in the brain’s meninges threw open a door to seeing how this still-mysterious organ clears waste. Subsequent work showed that these vessels, which reside in the ...

The discovery of meningeal lymphatic vessels changed understanding of immune privilege and metabolic waste clearance mechanisms in the central nervous system. These lymphatic vessels play a key role ...

Massage might help your brain flow regain its mojo. On June 4 in Nature, researchers led by Gou Young Koh at the Institute for Basic Science in Daejeon, South Korea, mapped the labyrinth of lymphatics ...

A newfound "protective shield" in the brain helps clear waste from the organ and serves as a sentry tower for watchful immune cells that monitor for signs of infection, scientists reported in a study ...

Researchers at the University of Rochester and the University of Copenhagen have identified a previously unknown component of brain anatomy in mice and in humans that acts as both a protective barrier ...

From the complexity of neural networks to basic biological functions and structures, the human brain only reluctantly reveals its secrets. Advances in neuro-imaging and molecular biology have only ...

Scientists at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) have uncovered a non-invasive method to boost the brain's natural waste drainage system-a discovery that could open new avenues for tackling ...
