the growth develops within the third ventricle of the brain. Ventricles are spaces filled with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) — a clear, colourless fluid that surrounds and protects the brain and ...

They confirmed this by identifying choroid plexus cells, the cell type that secretes cerebrospinal fluid into the ventricles of the brain, as the gateway for neuro-invasion. “The passage of ...

For years, scientists thought the brain lacked a lymphatic system ... help keep its shape—but scientists hadn’t yet figured out the exact exit route cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and molecules take. In a ...
