Unveiling the Lymphatic System of the Brain.

The article "Unveiling the Lymphatic System of the Brain" discusses recent discoveries regarding the existence and function of the lymphatic system in the brain. Traditionally, it was believed that the brain lacked a lymphatic system, but research has shown the presence of meningeal lymphatic vessels (MLVs) in the central nervous system. MLVs play a crucial role in maintaining fluid balance, supporting the immune response, and facilitating waste removal. They are also implicated in various neurological disorders, including brain tumors, traumatic brain injury, stroke, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, and aging. Understanding the meningeal lymphatic system is important for comprehending these diseases and exploring potential therapeutic breakthroughs. [Extracted from the article]
