We summarize recent work illuminating how cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) regulates brain
function. More than a protective fluid cushion and sink for waste, the CSF is an integral CNS …

The fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family is composed of 18 secreted signaling proteins
consisting of canonical FGFs and endocrine FGFs that activate four receptor tyrosine …

Modulating endogenous regenerative processes may represent a suitable treatment for
central nervous system (CNS) injuries, such as stroke or trauma. Neural stem/progenitor …

Ischemic brain injury and Alzheimer's disease (AD) both lead to cell death in the central
nervous system (CNS) and thus negatively affect particularly the elderly population. Due to …

The brain ventricular system is a series of connected cavities, filled with cerebrospinal fluid
(CSF), that forms within the vertebrate central nervous system (CNS). The hollow neural tube …

One of the biggest mysteries in neurobiology concerns the mechanisms responsible for the
diversification of the brain over different time scales, ie during development and evolution …

During the development of the cortex, newly generated neurons migrate long-distances in
the expanding tissue to reach their final positions. Pyramidal neurons are produced from …

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is the liquid that fills the brain ventricles. CSF represents not only
a mechanical brain protection but also a rich source of signalling factors modulating diverse …

Highlights•Multiple pools of progenitor cells generate neocortical pyramidal neurons during
embryonic development.•Cortical radial glial cells transit through different competence …

Cerebrospinal fluid is a clear fluid that occupies the ventricular and subarachnoid spaces
within and around the brain and spinal cord. Cerebrospinal fluid is a dynamic signaling …
