Skull's Hidden Lymph Nodes May Boost Brain Immunity, Study Finds
WashU Medicine study finds lymph node-like structures in skull bone marrow, suggesting a local brain immune defense. Could lead to new brain cancer therapies.
This discovery could revolutionize the treatment of brain diseases by leveraging the skull's immune structures to deliver therapies directly to the brain. If translated to clinical practice, it might lead to more effective treatments for brain cancers and other neurological disorders, potentially improving outcomes for patients who currently have limited options.
