By electrophoresis and chromatography on DEAE-cellulose it was shown that human spinal fluid and brain tissue extracts contained three cholinesterases: Two butyrylcholinesterases and one acetylcholinesterase. One of the butyrylcholinesterases had the same electrophoretic mobility as serum cholinesterases. ...
Several years ago, Walsh's work on brain development led him to suspect that there is much more to the unassuming fluid. He noticed that neural stem cells tend to line up around the brain's inner chambers, where CSF is stored, and stick cellular fingers, called cilia, into the pool of ...
Identification of brain cell death associated proteins in human post-mortem cerebrospinal fluid. Following any form of brain insult, proteins are released from damaged tissues into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). This body fluid is therefore an ideal sa... JA Burgess,P Lescuyer,A Hainard,... ...
The cause of spinal headaches is directly linked to the leakage of spinal fluid through a puncture hole through a tough membrane (dura mater) that surrounds the spinal cord. This leakage leakage reduces the pressure exerted by the spinal fluid on the brain and spinal chord, which leads to the...
Increases in cerebrospinal fluid caffeine concentration are associated with favorable outcome after severe traumatic brain injury in humans Caffeine, the most widely consumed psychoactive drug and a weak adenosine receptor antagonist, can be neuroprotective or neurotoxic depending on the experi...

It is indicated for children and adults, and is administered directly into the spinal canal, which is filled with cerebrospinal fluid, the liquid surrounding the brain and spinal cord.Given every four months, the treatment boosts the ability of the SMN2 gene to produce more working SMN protein...
The spinal cord is surrounded by cerebrospinal fluid, which suspends it within the 33 vertebrae of the spinal column. Small nerves from the spinal cord branch out from this cylindrical tube. They are called roots and move out through small openings between the vertebrae and connect to different ...
