New research explores if lymphovenous bypass surgery, typically used in plastic surgery, can treat Alzheimer's by flushing neurotoxins from the brain.

A small but growing body of evidence suggests that a minimally invasive surgical procedure called lymphovenous anastomosis (LVA) might be an effective treatment for Alzheimer's disease (AD), according ...

New research links dementia to problems with the brain’s waste clearance system. Asya Molochkova/Stocksy The glymphatic system is a recently discovered waste clearance system, most active during sleep ...

Problems with the brain's waste clearance system could underlie many cases of dementia and help explain why poor sleep patterns and cardiovascular risk factors such as high blood pressure increase the ...

The brain’s built-in clearance system, called the glymphatic system, removes toxins from the brain through the flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) via minuscule channels that trace blood vessels.

Once thought not to exist, the lymphatic system of our central nervous system is referred to as the glymphatic system and is made up of water channels, pores, and other clearance pathways. It is ...
