The brain needs to flush out waste products to stay healthy and fend off conditions like Alzheimer's disease. Scientists are beginning to understand how the the brain's waste removal system works.

Research teams have created a versatile set of gene delivery systems that can reach different neural cell types in the human brain and spinal cord with exceptional accuracy. These delivery systems are ...

Impaired glymphatic function — the brain’s waste clearance system — could help explain how cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors may drive dementia. In a large UK Biobank study, MRI markers of ...
