The pericytes form the core of the scar, while ependymal cells form a second layer around the core, followed by another layer of astrocytes that originated through self-duplication.
12.
PGRMC1 / 25-Dx is expressed in various regions of the brain [ hypothalamic area, circumventricular organs, ependymal cells of the lateral ventricles, meninges, including regions known to facilitate lordosis.
13.
Glial fibrillary acidic protein is an intermediate filament ( IF ) protein that is expressed by numerous cell types of the central nervous system ( CNS ) including astrocytes and ependymal cells.
14.
This barrier creates a tight hydrophobic layer around the ventricles of the brain, which through the function of their ependymal cells, are responsible for the synthesis of cerebrospinal fluid ( CSF ).
15.
The cells were already known as ependymal cells, described by one biologist as the most boring cells in the brain because their function is simply to line the cavities of the ventricles and spinal cord which hold the spinal fluid.
16.
CSF is produced by modified ependymal cells of the choroid plexus found in all components of the ventricular system except for the cerebral aqueduct and the foramina of Monro into the third ventricle, and then the fourth ventricle via the cerebral aqueduct in the brainstem.
17.
The tumor cells may differ in their structure and function, but they all have normal function, which is directed by the deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA . There are meant to be certain cells in a specific area, for the pineal region these are ependymal cells, and the cells divide into millions.

*" The article Brain tumor states : A brain tumor is any cell division, normally either in the brain itself ( neurons, glial cells ( astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, ependymal cells ), lymphatic tissue, blood vessels ), in the cranial nerves ( myelin-producing Schwann cells ), in the brain envelopes ( meninges ), skull, pituitary and pineal gland ."
19.
Ependymal cells of the choroid plexus produce more than two thirds of CSF . The choroid plexus is a venous plexus contained within the four ventricles of the brain, hollow structures inside the brain filled with CSF . The remainder of the CSF is produced by the surfaces of the ventricles and by the lining surrounding the subarachnoid space.
