"Uncovering Direct Connections: Brain's Interface with Surrounding Environment and Waste Disposal"
Researchers have identified direct connections between the dura and the brain, shedding light on the structural and functional features of central nervous system lymphatic vessels. The study provides evidence of dural sinuses serving as a neuroimmune interface and highlights the role of meningeal lymphatic drainage circuits in regulating CNS lymphatic drainage and neuroinflammation. Additionally, the findings reveal the involvement of meningeal lymphatic vessels in regulating various neurological processes, including cognitive impairment, anxiety-like behavior, and immune responses in the central nervous system.
