With an increase in the concentration of osmotically active substances, not passing through cell membranes or the blood -brain barrier, in the blood, dehydration of the cells takes place. It is claimed that this mechanism lies at the basis of dehydration of the brain during osmotic therapy [1...
cerebrospinal fluid,spinal fluid- clear liquid produced in the ventricles of the brain; fills and protects cavities in the brain and spinal cord Want to thank TFD for its existence?Tell a friend about us, add a link to this page, or visitthe webmaster's page for free fun content. ...
In the brain the pericyte is an integral cellular component of the blood-brain barrier and, together with other cells of the neurovascular unit (endothelial cells, astrocytes and neurons) the pericyte makes fine-tuned regulatory adjustments and adaptations to promote tissue survival. These regulatory ...
This aim of this editorial is to highlight progress made in brain barrier and brain fluid research in 2022. It covers studies on the blood-brain, blood-retina and blood-CSF barriers (choroid plexus and meninges), signaling within the neurovascular unit and elements of the brain fluid systems....
CSF from the lateral ventricle (LVEN) successively passes through the third ventricle, and fourth ventricle to the subarachnoid space. CSF enters the brain parenchyma and participates in cleaning the metabolism waste through the glymphatic system. Previous studies have also explored the potential ...
Growing evidence suggests that cellular cholesterol homeostasis is causally involved in different steps leading to pathological events in the brain of Alzheimer's Disease (AD) patients. It was previously demonstrated that the processing of the amyloid beta-peptide precursor protein (APP) is modulated by...
A is also found in bodily fluids such as the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and plasma. However, the significance of A accumulation in the brain and different bodily pools, as well as its correlation with aging and cerebral amyloid pathology, is not completely understood. To better understand this ...

In the central nervous system, choline is an essential precursor of choline-containing phospholipids in neurons and glial cells and of acetylcholine in cholinergic neurons. In order to study choline transport and metabolism in the brain, we developed a comprehensive methodical procedure for the analysis...
Biomarkers in the CSF are potentially more useful because they provide an insight into changes in the brain milieu associated with the condition, and consequently more research has been undertaken on the composition of the CSF. It is assumed that ventricular CSF will reflect the changes happening ...
