Multiciliated cells are epithelial cells that are in contact with bodily fluids and are required for
the proper function of major organs including the brain, the respiratory system and the …

Ependymal cells are indispensable components of the central nervous system (CNS). They
originate from neuroepithelial cells of the neural plate and show heterogeneity, with at least …

The literature was reviewed to summarize the current understanding of the role of ciliated
ependymal cells in the mammalian brain. Previous reviews were summarized. Publications …

The neuroepithelium is a germinal epithelium containing progenitor cells that produce
almost all of the central nervous system cells, including the ependyma. The neuroepithelium …

Motility of unicellular organisms occurred early in evolution with the emergence of cilia and
flagella. In vertebrates, motile cilia are required for numerous functions such as clearance of …

Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) is a cause of significant morbidity and mortality and is an
independent predictor of a worse outcome in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and germinal …

Rationale Dysfunction of serotonergic systems is thought to play an important role in a
number of neurological and psychiatric disorders. Recent studies suggest that there is …

Neurogenesis in mammals occurs throughout life in two brain regions: the ventricular–
subventricular zone (V–SVZ) and the subgranular zone (SGZ) of the hippocampal dentate …

Previous studies have suggested that serotonergic neurons in the midbrain raphe complex
have a functional topographic organization. Recent studies suggest that stimulation of a bed …

Mature multiciliated ependymal cells line the cerebral ventricles where they form a partial
barrier between the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and brain parenchyma and regulate local CSF …
