New work offers an unprecedented real-time view of the choroid plexus in a mouse model, providing a glimpse of how disturbances of the mother's immune system during pregnancy disrupt the developing ...

A choroid plexus cyst is a buildup of fluid found in the choroid section of an unborn baby’s brain. It’s estimated that choroid plexus cysts happen in about 2% of pregnancies, usually during the ...

Once viewed merely as a producer of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) bathing the brain and spinal cord, the choroid plexus is now known to be a key player in brain development and immunity. These fronds ...

Choroid plexus tumors are growths in the area of the brain that produces cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). They may be cancerous or noncancerous. Choroid plexus tumors are rare. They develop in the choroid ...

Choroid plexus tumours are rare neoplasms originating from the specialised epithelial tissue of the choroid plexus, which is responsible for cerebrospinal fluid production. These tumours encompass a ...

There is still a lot we don’t know about the brain, and especially about two small bits of tissue deep within it called the choroid plexus. This structure is very difficult to observe because of its ...

A research team from the School of Life Sciences at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) has recently discovered that SOX9 protein is an essential regulatory factor of choroid plexus function ...

Floating in fluid deep in the brain are small, little understood fronds of tissue. Two new studies reveal that these miniature organs are a hotbed of immune system activity. This activity may protect ...
