The pathways that clear waste from the central nervous system also transport antigens and support immune surveillance, while immune cells regulate fluid drainage and clearance at the brain\u2019s borders. This Workshop will bring together experts in cerebrospinal fluid dynamics, meningeal lymphatics, brain barriers, and neuroimmunology to examine how these processes shape one another in health, aging, and neurological disease. Through discussion of emerging findings and unresolved questions, we will explore how this relationship might be harnessed to restore brain homeostasis and guide new therapeutic approaches.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Grand Challenge Workshop &nbsp;
