A new study, led by researchers at the University of Gothenburg, have generated the first comprehensive transcriptional atlas of neonatal mouse meningeal leukocytes, under normal conditions and after ...

T cells mingle among the immune cells that monitor the meninges, the layered membranes cradling the brain. As mice age, more and more of these cells accumulate there, according to a study published ...

A new study led by researchers at Harvard Medical School details the step-by-step cascade that allows bacteria to break through the brain's protective layers - the meninges - and cause brain infection ...

Some immune defenses of the brain may have their roots in the gut. A new study in mice finds that immune cells are first trained in the gut to recognize and launch attacks on pathogens, and then ...

Earlier this year, a high-profile Science paper caused a stir with its claim that the brain has a fourth, previously unrecognized, meningeal membrane. Dubbed SLYM and containing Prox1+ cells, this ...

A single injection of SOD1-targeting RNA into the subpial space, which is below the innermost meningeal layer, was able to spread throughout the spinal cord and, via retrograde delivery, into brain ...
