A Vlaams Institute of Biotechnology–Ghent University Center for Inflammation Research team has identified a previously unknown cellular barrier within the choroid plexus which clarifies how the ...

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 ...

Researchers have identified three genes that play a pivotal role in the brain tumor choroid plexus carcinoma (CPC), a discovery that lays the groundwork for more effective treatment of this rare, ...

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 ...

Zic family member 4 (ZIC4) is a tumor suppressive transcription factor that is epigenetically silenced in many types of cancers. In the current study, researchers from Children's Cancer Hospital Egypt ...

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 ...

Cryo-EM has solved yet another molecular riddle. In the September 6 Acta Neuropathologica, scientists led by Bernardino Ghetti, Indiana University School of Medicine, Indianapolis, reported that ...

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 ...
