Where this comes from

Abstract

Channels connecting the skull bone marrow and the meninges have recently been discovered as a path for immune cell and molecule trafficking. In this issue of Cell, Kolabas, Kuemmerle, Perneczky, Förstera, and colleagues characterize these channels in humans and mice, revealing unique features of skull bone marrow and localized activation in human pathology.
