New Discovery about Brain’s Lymph/Glymphatic System
https://news.ohsu.edu/2024/10/07/brains-waste-clearance-pathways-revealed-for-the-first-timeA newly published study revealed we have brain waste pathways, a set of glymphatic pathways, which filter/remove waste from the brain. As many of you may know, metabolic waste can cause cancer and this process is dependent on glial cells. So this may be a key discovery in preventing/understanding brain cancer as well as other horrible diseases such as Alzheimers & CTE.
Just wanted to spread a little hope! I hope everyone out there has a very blessed day! :)
