Astrocyte endfeet may theoretically act as valves to convert pressure oscillations to glymphatic flow

Peter A. R. Bork et al.

Summary: The glymphatic system, a cerebrospinal fluid transport system in the brain, has been associated with waste clearance, neurodegenerative diseases, and acute neurological disorders. While valves are important in other low-pressure fluid pathways to ensure flow direction, no valves have been found in the glymphatic system. This study proposes that astrocyte endfeet may act as valves using an elastic mechanism.

The glymphatic hypothesis: the theory and the evidence

Stephen B. Hladky et al.

Summary: The glymphatic hypothesis suggests a mechanism for extravascular transport of hydrophilic solutes in and out of the brain, but it fails to fully explain the movement of solutes and fluid within the brain parenchyma.

FLUID TRANSPORT IN THE BRAIN

Martin Kaag Rasmussen et al.

Summary: The brain has the ability to shift its gears between wakefulness and sleep, with information processing and behavior dominating in wakefulness and homeostatic functions prevailing during sleep. The brain relies on the glymphatic system, a fluid system comprised of the cerebrospinal fluid and perivascular spaces formed by astrocytic vascular endfeet, to clear waste products and maintain homeostasis. This system is especially active during sleep, driven by the cardiac cycle, respiration, and slow vasomotion.

Arterial vasodilation drives convective fluid flow in the brain: a poroelastic model

Ravi Teja Kedarasetti et al.

Summary: The movement of fluid in and out of the brain plays a vital role in clearing metabolic waste. This research investigates the mechanisms behind fluid movement and suggests that arteriolar dilations can drive fluid circulation in the brain, especially during sleep-like conditions. The study highlights the importance of convective flow in the extracellular space for waste clearance.

The glymphatic system: Current understanding and modeling

Tomas Bohr et al.

Summary: This article reviews theoretical and numerical models of the glymphatic system, which plays a role in solute transport and has clinical applications in drug delivery, stroke, and neurodegenerative disorders. The authors categorize existing models based on their anatomical functions and highlight the need for future work, including new models and experiments to improve our understanding of the system.

Varying perivascular astroglial endfoot dimensions along the vascular tree maintain perivascular-interstitial flux through the cortical mantle

Marie Xun Wang et al.

Summary: The research found significant heterogeneity in the size of astrocyte endfeet along the cerebrovascular tree, with endfoot size positively correlated with vessel diameters. This variability may be an evolutionary adaptation to maintain perivascular CSF-interstitial fluid exchange through deep brain structures.

Insights into the Microstructural Origin of Brain Viscoelasticity Prospects for Microstructure-Informed Constitutive Modeling

Nina Reiter et al.

Summary: The study identified microstructural mechanisms underlying macroscopic mechanical response in brain tissue through simultaneous mechanical loading and microstructural analyses, proposing a microstructure-informed finite viscoelastic constitutive model. The model parameters, determined through histological staining of tested samples, aim to predict how microstructural changes during development, aging, and disease affect macroscopic tissue mechanics.
