Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks represent a significant clinical challenge, marked by the aberrant escape of CSF from its usual confines into adjacent structures such as the paranasal sinuses, which ...

Chemotherapy for pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) induces rapid and durable alterations in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) metabolism, and a lipid-rich CSF signature measured early in treatment ...

CSF-ctDNA was detected in 59% of cases and showed high concordance (84%) with tumor mutations. Lower variant allelic frequency in CSF-ctDNA was associated with significantly worse survival outcomes.

Cerebrospinal fluid is a watery liquid that continually circulates through the brain’s ventricles and around the surface of the brain and spinal cord. It acts like a cushion that helps protect the ...

Brain tumors are abnormal growths of cells in or around the brain. They can be primary (originating in the brain) or secondary (metastatic, spreading to the brain from cancer elsewhere). They can also ...

One key role of sleep involves cerebrospinal fluid, which surrounds and protects the brain. During sleep, CSF helps remove waste that accumulates during waking hours. In a 2019 study, Lewis and her ...
