The meninges also provide structural support for important blood vessels and nerves and prevent cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), the clear fluid the brain and spinal cord sit in, from leaking.

Together, your meninges stabilize your brain, protect sensitive areas, and give support to nerves, blood vessels, lymphatics, and the cerebrospinal fluid found in your central nervous system.

Researchers find that SARS-CoV-2 spike protein persists in the skull-meninges-brain axis, driving neuroinflammation, neurodegeneration, and heightened vulnerability to brain injuries.

New Delhi: SARS-CoV-2, the virus behind the Covid-19 pandemic, remains in the skull and meninges for years after infection, leading to a long-lasting effect on the brain, according to a major ...

The meninges are three membranes that lie atop one another, wrapping the brain and spinal cord to shield the central nervous system from injury, damage, and infection.

Your body's brain and spinal cord are surrounded by three layers of membranes known as the meninges. These protective membranes are vital for providing structural support, cushioning tissue ...

Stationed within the meninges, squads of immune cells lie in wait, ready to unleash an inflammatory assault within the brain if needed. Holding these trigger-happy troops back during peacetime falls ...

The meninges, three protective tissue layers under the skull, shield the brain and spinal cord from injury, toxins, and infection. This brain border hosts a diverse population of immune cells.

The study shows that the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein remains in the brain’s protective layers, the meninges, and the skull’s bone marrow for up to four years after infection. This ...
