“…The levels of such adhesion molecules, as well as of tight junction components, are dynamically controlled by the cytokine milieu and inflammatory stimuli to regulate the amounts of cell traffic into the CSF (Baruch et al, 2015;Kunis et al, 2013;Marques et al, 2009;Zhang et al, 2013). Inflammatory stimuli, such as peripheral infection or autoimmune diseases, are usually 'activators' of the choroid plexus (Marques et al, 2007(Marques et al, , 2009Petito and Adkins, 2005;Reboldi et al, 2009;Shrestha et al, 2014;Young et al, 2011;Zhang et al, 2013).
