Traumatic brain injury alters dendritic cell differentiation and distribution in lymphoid and non-lymphoid organs by Orest Tsymbalyuk, Volodymyr Gerzanich, J. Marc Simard, Chozha Vendan Rathinam

“…Results Our studies identify that; (1) frequencies and absolute numbers of DCs in the spleen and BM are altered on day 3 and day 7 after TBI; (2) surface expression of key molecules involved in antigen presentation of DCs were affected on day 3 and day 7 after TBI; (3) distribution and functions of tissue-specific DC subsets of both circulatory and lymphatic systems were imbalanced following TBI; (4) early differentiation program of DCs, especially the commitment of hematopoietic stem cells to common DC progenitors (CDPs), were deregulated after TBI; and (5) intracellular ROS levels were reduced in DC progenitors and differentiated DCs on day 3 and day 7 after TBI. …”

Quantitative results for the direct participation of the parenchymal vascular system in cerebral waste removal by Jiani Hu, Yimin Shen, Lara M. Fahmy, Satish Krishnamurthy, Jie Li, Li Zhang, Yongsheng Chen, Mark E. Haacke, Quan Jiang

“…Considering there is a big difference in flow rate between the blood (2 mL/min) and the CSF (3.7 µL/min) and the brain is the most bioactive, energy-consuming organ (20% nutrition for about 5% of body weight) in the body, it is illogical that the brain would rely on the slow CSF circulation for CWC while less bioactive tissues outside the brain require both the fast vascular and slow lymphatic systems to remove waste in a timely manner.4,5 Methods: Superparamagnetic iron oxide–enhanced susceptibility-weighted imaging (SPIO-SWI) and quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) methods were used to simultaneously study 7 T MRI signal changes in parenchymal veins, arteries, and their corresponding para-vascular spaces in 26 rats, following intra-cisterna magna (ICM) infusion of different CSF tracers (FeREX, ferumoxytol, Fe-Dextran) to determine the amount of tracer in the artery and vein quantitatively. …”
