Near-Infrared Imaging of Glymphatic Clearance in a Pre-Clinical Model of Repetitive Closed Head Traumatic Brain Injury by Eleftheria Michalaki, Alexis N. Pulliam, Pooja M. Datta Roy, J. Brandon Dixon, Michelle C. LaPlaca

“…Furthermore, NIR imaging revealed that NIR dye was detectable in the cervical lymph nodes (CLNs) of sham animals but not in TBI animals, yet there was evidence of blood accumulation in the CLNs of TBI animals, suggesting that TBI-related extravascular blood is removed through the glymph system. These data indicate that TBI disrupts normal brain efflux kinetics and reduces glymphatic drainage to the CLNs, demonstrating that restoring glymphatic function may be a promising therapeutic target.…”

α-Synuclein fibrils subvert lysosome structure and function for the propagation of protein misfolding between cells through tunneling nanotubes. by Aysegul Dilsizoglu Senol, Maura Samarani, Sylvie Syan, Carlos M Guardia, Takashi Nonaka, Nalan Liv, Patricia Latour-Lambert, Masato Hasegawa, Judith Klumperman, Juan S Bonifacino, Chiara Zurzolo

“…The accumulation of α-synuclein (α-syn) aggregates in specific brain regions is a hallmark of synucleinopathies including Parkinson disease (PD). α-Syn aggregates propagate in a "prion-like" manner and can be transferred inside lysosomes to recipient cells through tunneling nanotubes (TNTs). …”
