IJMS Special Issue – Call for papers on “Multiplicity of Cerebrospinal Fluid Functions in Health and Disease”
In recent years, interest has grown in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) as a physiological fluid supporting brain development, function and health. Attention has focused on the source of CSF, the choroid plexus epithelium, as the compoisition of CSF is unique and controlled. The role of CSF in brain development, normal function and health of the brain, is becoming clear, particularly in metabolic processes, supply of nutrients, metabolies and vitamins.
