For years, BAMs were hidden in plain sight, often mistaken for other immune cells. That changed with new tools like fate mapping (tracks a cell’s developmental origin) and single-cell RNA sequencing, ...

One of the first brain cells shown to make insulin is the neurogliaform cell. These live in a brain area important for ...

A choroid plexus cyst is a buildup of fluid found in the choroid section of an unborn baby’s brain. It’s estimated that choroid plexus cysts happen in about 2% of pregnancies, usually during ...

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 ...

The choroid plexus produces approximately 500 milliliters (17 ounces) of CSF daily, but only about 150 milliliters (5 ounces) are present within the central nervous system at any given time due to ...

It is primarily produced by a network of cells called the choroid plexus, which is located in the brain's ventricles, or cavities. The choroid plexus produces approximately 500 milliliters (17 ...

The choroid plexus produces approximately 500 milliliters (17 ounces) of CSF daily, but only about 150 milliliters (5 ounces) are present within the central nervous system at any given time due to ...

Choroid plexus epithelial cells display cell-autonomous circadian rhythmicity in the gene expression of core components of the molecular clock including BMAL1, CLOCK, CRY, and PER2. 98–103 The ...

The choroid plexus is the part of the brain that bathes and protects a baby’s brain and spinal column. A cyst in that area occurs in approximately 1 to 2 percent of babies and forms when “a ...
