A new study shows that wasteosomes -- structures that act as containers for brain waste products -- indicate a malfunction of the glymphatic system, a recently discovered system that is an important ...

The brain’s built-in clearance system, called the glymphatic system, removes toxins from the brain through the flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) via minuscule channels that trace blood vessels.

Impaired glymphatic function — the brain’s waste clearance system — could help explain how cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors may drive dementia. In a large UK Biobank study, MRI markers of ...

The global population is facing an unprecedented growth in the number of aging people with cognitive disorders such as Alzheimer disease (AD). AD is characterized by the deposition of amyloid β (Aβ) ...

A new study led by researchers from the University of Barcelona shows that wasteosomes - structures that act as containers for brain waste products - indicate a malfunction of the glymphatic system, a ...

Dementia was linked to impairments involving the glymphatic system in a study of 44,000 people. Three markers of CSF dynamics were associated with incident dementia over a median follow-up of 5 years.
