Lymphatic system discovered in brain (what about Multiple Sclerosis, Alzheimer’s, Omega-3 and Vitamin D)
Scientists Somehow Just Discovered a New System of Vessels in Our Brains Atlantic Oct 2017
“It is unclear what they do—but they likely play a central role in aging and disease."
“Doctors practicing today have been taught that there are no lymphatic vessels inside the skull.”
Senior investigator Daniel Reich, who is very interested in Multiple Sclerosis, followed up on the discovery of lymph system in brains (glymphatic system) of mice in 2015
“In a 2016 study (free PDF), also in mice, glymphatic dysfunction appeared to cause accumulation of Alzheimer-related amyloid proteins.”
“The flow of glymphatic fluid can change based on a person’s intake of omega-3 fatty acids, a study showed earlier this year.”
Long discussion about ALS
“ALS and Parkinson’s appear to both be fundamentally a result of how tiny vesicles are transported in nerve cells.”
Human and nonhuman primate meninges harbor lymphatic vessels that can be visualized noninvasively by MRI Oct 2017

Lymphatic drainage system of the brain: A novel target for intervention of neurological diseases Sept 2017
“Brain lymphatic drainage helps maintain water and ion balance of the ISF, waste clearance, and reabsorption of macromolecular solutes.”
“ A second physiological function includes communication with the immune system modulating immune surveillance and responses of the brain”.
“The impairment and dysfunction of the brain lymphatic system has crucial roles in age-related changes of brain function and the pathogenesis of neurovascular, neurodegenerative, and neuroinflammatory diseases, as well as brain injury and tumors”
Sections of the $36 PDF
2. Key components of the brain lymphatic drainage system
3. Physiological functions and regulatory factors of the brain lymphatic drainage system
4. Lymphatic drainage pathway-mediated communications between CNS and immune system
5. Pathological significance of dysfunction of cerebral lymphatic drainage pathways in neurologic diseases
6. Therapeutic or drug delivery strategies targeting key components of CNS lymphatic drainage pathways in neurological diseases
VitaminDWiki predicts that the free study published one month later (October) by a different group will become the one quoted, referenced, etc.
