This study reveals a distinctive network of lymphatic vessels at the back of the nose that serves as a major hub for the outflow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to deep cervical lymph nodes in the neck.

Scientists at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) have uncovered a non-invasive method to boost the brain's natural waste drainage system—a discovery that could open new avenues for tackling ...

Massage might help your brain flow regain its mojo. On June 4 in Nature, researchers led by Gou Young Koh at the Institute for Basic Science in Daejeon, South Korea, mapped the labyrinth of lymphatics ...

This diagram shows the pathways cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) takes as it flows from the brain’s surface through facial lymphatic vessels and into lymph nodes in the neck. Scientists at the Institute for ...

A. The drawing shows intracranial upstream lymphatic regions #1, #2, and #3 that drain through the nasopharyngeal lymphatic plexus (NPLP) en route to medial deep cervical lymphatics and deep cervical ...

Meningeal lymphatic vessels at the skull base are found to be the major route for brain clearance. Reporting to see their integrity is impaired with aging, the latest findings provide further insights ...

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a type of clear liquid that surrounds, protects, and cushions your brain and spinal cord from possible injuries. The fluid is held in place by the dura mater, a dense ...

New research reveals that a particular group of lymphatic vessels plays a pivotal role in helping the brain dispose of waste. It also suggests that deterioration of these vessels through aging could ...

A CSF leak occurs when cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) escapes from the protective layer surrounding the brain and spinal cord. This is a serious condition that can cause headaches, seizures, or meningitis.

Researchers have uncovered a distinctive network of lymphatic vessels at the back of the nose that plays a critical role in draining cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the brain. The study, sheds light on ...
