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

Astrogliosis, a cellular reaction with specific structural and functional characteristics,
represents a remarkably homotypic response of astrocytes to all kinds of central nervous …

The pathophysiology of congenital and neonatal hydrocephalus is not well understood
although the prognosis for patients with this disorder is far from optimal. A major obstacle to …

Hydrocephalic hyh mutant mice undergo a programmed loss of the neuroepithelium/
ependyma followed by a reaction of periventricular astrocytes, which form a new cell layer …

In post-haemorrhagic and other forms of communicating hydrocephalus, cerebrospinal fluid
flow and drainage is obstructed by subarachnoid fibrosis in which the potent fibrogenic …

Background The motor and cognitive deficits observed in hydrocephalus are thought to be
due to axonal damage within the periventricular white matter. This study was carried out to …

Aquaporin 4 (AQP4) is a cerebral glial marker that labels ependymal cells and astrocytes'
endfeet and is the main water channel responsible for the parenchymal fluid balance …

The treatment of hydrocephalus by cerebrospinal fluid shunting is plagued by ventricular
catheter obstruction. Shunts can become obstructed by cells originating from tissue normal …

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is one of the most debilitating age-related disorders that affect
people globally. It impacts social and cognitive behavior of the individual and is …

Astrogliosis has long been recognized in Parkinson's disease (PD), the most common
