Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is considered the most frequent inflammatory demyelinating disease
of the central nervous system (CNS). It occurs with a variable prevalence across the world. A …

Neuroimmunology, albeit a relatively established discipline, has recently sparked numerous
exciting findings on microglia, the resident macrophages of the central nervous system …

Whereas the study of the interactions between the immune system and the central nervous
system (CNS) has often focused on pathological conditions, the importance of neuroimmune …

Meninges cover the surface of the brain and spinal cord and contribute to protection and
immune surveillance of the central nervous system (CNS). How the meningeal layers …

The homeostasis of the central nervous system (CNS) is ensured by the endothelial,

The neural crest (NC) is a transient, multipotent and migratory cell population that generates
an astonishingly diverse array of cell types during vertebrate development. These cells …

For any given animal, the sources of mechanical disturbances inducing tissue deformation
define environment from the perspective of the animal's haptic perceptual system. The …

Although many features of neurogenesis during development and in the adult are intrinsic to
the neurogenic cells themselves, the role of the microenvironment is irrefutable. The …
