Confocal microscopy image showing an embryonic mouse choroid plexus epithelial cell releasing large, protein-rich aposomes into the cerebrospinal fluid. Nuclear DNA is stained in blue, ...

The choroid plexus consists of a network of cells and blood vessels found in various fluid-filled spaces in the brain, called ventricles. A thin layer of cells covers each of those vessels.

Choroid plexus tumors are rare. They develop in the choroid plexus, a network of cells lining the brain’s ventricles. Tumors in this area can disrupt the flow and production of CSF, leading to ...

In aging mice, senescent cells in the choroid plexus recruited circulating macrophages. These immune cells released a protease, cathepsin S, that chewed up claudin 1, part of the glue that seals ...

Brain cancer is rare. Some forms are particularly uncommon, including choroid plexus tumors, pineal tumors, and hemangiomas. Brain cancers occur when an atypical group of cells in the brain ...

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 RPE and choroid, located behind the human retina, are fundamental to vision, playing a myriad of roles from light absorption to providing oxygenated blood to the photoreceptor cells. However ...

A new study published in Cell demonstrated one way that the environment modifies the phenotype of mice with a CRB1 mutation. 1 Researchers showed that CRB1 degradation triggers both a leaky colon ...

A longitudinal, observational study found that the choroid plexus, a network of blood vessels in each ventricle of the brain, plays a potential role in the neurodegenerative and chronic ...

Choroid plexus apocrine secretion, triggered by 5-HT 2C receptor activation, releases proteins into embryonic cerebrospinal fluid that influence early brain cell development and organization.
