AI Article Synopsis
- The subcommissural organ (SCO) is a secretory tissue found in the brain's third ventricle.
- Recent research in PLOS Biology shows that the SCO reacts to glucose levels by releasing signaling molecules into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
- This secretion reduces the movement of CSF driven by the local ependyma cells.
Article Abstract
The subcommissural organ (SCO) is a secretory tissue located on the roof of the brain's third ventricle. A new study published in PLOS Biology finds that the SCO responds to glucose by secreting signaling molecules into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), thereby decreasing the local ependyma-driven CSF movement.

Blastic Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cell Neoplasm, a Very Rare Hematological Malignancy With Initial Cutaneous Involvement: A Case Report.

Prof. Miloš Nikolić, MD, PhD, University of Belgrade, School of Medicine,, Belgrade, Serbia;
Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) is a very rare and aggressive hematologic malignancy, arising from plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs). BPDCN frequently has, at least initially, exclusively cutaneous presentation. We present a 45-year-old woman with a 3-month history of rapidly evolving violaceous patches, infiltrated plaques, and bruise-like tumefactions, disseminated on her face and upper trunk.

Recent evidence shows coupling between global cortical rsfMRI signals and cerebrospinal fluid inflow in the fourth ventricle, increasing during sleep and decreasing with Alzheimer's disease (AD) progression, potentially reflecting brain clearance mechanisms. However, the existence of more complex brain-ventricle coupling modes and their relationship to cognitive decline remains unexplored.

Whether APOL1 high-risk variants are independent risk factors for cardiovascular diseases is unclear and requires further investigation.
Methods: We characterized a mouse model to investigate the role of APOL1 in dyslipidemia and cardiovascular diseases.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an invaluable method of choice for anatomical and functional in vivo imaging of the brain. Still, accurate delineation of the brain structures remains a crucial task of MR image evaluation. This study presents a novel analytical algorithm developed in MATLAB for the automatic segmentation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) spaces in preclinical non-contrast MR images of the mouse brain.

We discuss a case of a 19-year-old female who presented with pressure headaches and progressive vision loss. In the emergency department, a series of diagnostic tests were conducted, including CT, MRI, and lumbar puncture with measurement of opening pressure. All these examinations yielded results consistent with the suspected diagnosis of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH).
