Meningeal lymphatics prime tumor immunity in glioblastoma. uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • The notion of the brain as an immune-privileged organ has been challenged by the discovery of functional lymphatic vessels in the meninges of the dorsal and basal skull. A study published in Nature in 2020 shows that meningeal lymphatics play an important role in the sensing of brain tumor antigens.
