Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is present throughout the entire ... the second sample tube is typically adequate for interpretation. If the flow of CSF is insufficient for free collection, it may ...

Attier-Zmudka J, Sérot JM, Valluy J, et al. Decreased cerebrospinal fluid flow is associated with cognitive deficit in elderly patients. Front Aging Neurosci. 2019;11:87. doi:10.3389/fnagi.

“And when the blood vessels relax, they push the cerebrospinal fluid along.” To confirm this, the team used a fluorescent tracer to visualize the fluid’s flow. When they artificially sped up ...

Researchers found that peristaltic pump flow mechanically breaks supersaturation to induce amyloid formation by hen egg white lysozyme, a-synuclein, amyloid b 1-40, and b2-microglobulin. The high ...

"Our findings suggest that shear flow forces in various fluids in our body, such as blood and cerebrospinal fluid, could trigger amyloid formation," says Goto. Given that some medical procedures ...
