Abstract

SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.

Abstract

The glymphatic system, a recently identified waste clearance pathway in the brain, is crucial for removing waste products and maintaining brain homeostasis. Similar to the lymphatic system in the body, the glymphatic system operates uniquely within the brain. Its main role is to clear various waste products, such as metabolites, proteins, and toxins, from the brain. AQP4 plays a pivotal role in facilitating the function of this system.
