The glymphatic system is the brain's self-cleaning mechanism. If you haven't heard of the glymphatic system, it's probably because it wasn't discovered until 2012. Since then, there's been a surge of ...

A new study describes a gene therapy strategy that uses the brain's own glymphatic transport system to distribute engineered viral vectors throughout the brain.

Researchers combined engineered viral vectors with the brain’s glymphatic transport system to deliver genes to glial cells.

Biomedical engineers at Duke University have developed a technique to noninvasively visualize the brain's waste-removal system in unprecedented detail. This new imaging approach allows researchers to ...

A new study suggests that strengthening the body’s natural circadian rhythms may help the brain recover after stroke, even when treatment begins days after the injury.

A new study led by researchers from the University of Barcelona shows that wasteosomes —structures that act as containers for brain waste products— indicate a malfunction of the glymphatic system, a ...

New research linking heart rate variability to glymphatic clearance could lead to a simple new biomarker of dementia risk.

A new study shows that wasteosomes -- structures that act as containers for brain waste products -- indicate a malfunction of the glymphatic system, a recently discovered system that is an important ...
