Assessing glymphatic role in the association between choroid plexus enlargement and white matter lesions load: The uncertain path through diffusion tensor imaging along the perivascular space (DTI-ALPS)

Background The choroid plexus (CP) is involved in cerebrospinal fluid production, immune surveillance, and brain fluid homeostasis. CP enlargement has been linked to neuroinflammation, glymphatic dysfunction, and white matter lesion (WML) burden, but the mechanisms underlying the...

Microglia-derived extracellular vesicles uncover early alterations of inflammatory signaling in Alzheimer’s disease

Abstract Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is increasingly recognized as a neurodegenerative disorder associated with chronic low-grade inflammation and age-related immune dysregulation. Microglial-derived extracellular vesicles (MDEVs) are emerging as important mediators of neuroimmune c...
