Though the team largely explains the function of SLYM in mice, they do study its presence in the adult human brain as well.
The human brain is tremendously complex, and scientists are yet to unlock its full potential. Now, a discovery has identified a
of brain anatomy that doubles up as a protective barrier for our grey matter and a platform from which immune cells can monitor the brain, according to a release.Maiken Nedergaard, co-director of the Center for Translational Neuromedicine at the University of Rochester and the University of Copenhagen, and Kjeld Møllgård, M.D.
"The discovery of a new anatomic structure that segregates and helps control the flow of cerebrospinal fluid in and around the brain now provides us a much greater appreciation of the sophisticated role that CSF plays not only in transporting and removing waste from the brain but also in supporting its immune defenses," NedergaardNew study in Nature Aging describes a new anatomical structure in the brain called SLYM, an abbreviation of Subarachnoidal LYmphatic-like Membrane, that acts...
The SLYM is made of the mesothelium, which lines organs such as the heart and lungs. Møllgård, the first author of the study, suspected that a similar membrane might exist in the central nervous system, considering mesothelium protects organs and harbors immune cells. The membrane is too thin to be seen in people through brain-scanning machines.
