In lab experiments on mice, researchers observed how cellular waste was flushed out via the brain’s blood vessels into the body’s circulatory system and eventually the liver.
These waste products included amyloid beta, a protein that when accumulated is a driver of Alzheimer’s disease.
In order to help remove the waste, cerebral spinal fluid is pumped through brain tissue.
