  1. Choroid plexus alterations in long COVID and their associations with Alzheimer's disease risks

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 57 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association 2026-02-01 Biomarkers

    These findings suggest that ChP differences in long COVID are associated with AD-related cognitive decline and increased plasma biomarkers.

  2. Multimodal MRI reveals impaired glymphatic function with choroid plexus enlargement and cerebrospinal fluid expansion in alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 53 out of 100. Scientific reports 2025-08-19 Biomarkers

    There is increasing evidence that cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) circulation plays a key role in the pathophysiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD), although the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood.

  3. Choroid plexus and the blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier in disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. Fluids and barriers of the CNS 2020-05-06 Tau biomarkers

    The choroid plexus (CP) forming the blood-cerebrospinal fluid (B-CSF) barrier is among the least studied structures of the central nervous system (CNS) despite its clinical importance.

  4. Development of the choroid plexus and blood-CSF barrier

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Frontiers in neuroscience 2015-03-03 Tau biomarkers

    Well-known as one of the main sources of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), the choroid plexuses have been, and still remain, a relatively understudied tissue in neuroscience.

  5. Choroid plexus: biology and pathology

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Acta neuropathologica 2009-12-24 Tau biomarkers

    The choroid plexus is an epithelial-endothelial vascular convolute within the ventricular system of the vertebrate brain.

  6. The choroid plexus-cerebrospinal fluid system: from development to aging

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Current topics in developmental biology 2005-01-01 Tau biomarkers

    The function of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and the tissue that secretes it, the choroid plexus (CP), has traditionally been thought of as both providing physical protection to the brain through buoyancy and facilitating the removal of brain metabolites through the bulk drainage of CSF.
