Autoantibodies are concentrated in scavenger cells situated in the meninges. This real-time microscopic image shows autoantibodies (magenta, autoantibodies specific to the myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG)) binding to scavenger cells (green, CX3CR1 + GFP+ cells) in the meninges. The latter are scattered around blood vessels (red, labelled with the Dextran Texas Red). Scale of overview 50µM, enlarged segment : 20µM. Source: umg

Moustached tamarins are among the primates dispersing the seeds of Leonia cymosa. According to the new studies, odor is likely to be involved in their recognition of ripe fruits. Photo: Adrian Reinehr Ripe and unripe fruits of Leonia cymosa, one of the studied species, at the DPZ field station in Peruvian Amazonia. According to the new studies, fruit aroma emitted by these species signals ripeness to seed-dispersing primates. Photo: Adrian Reinehr

Cell-trafficking between the nervous tissue and its surrounding fluid. Cells steadily commute between the tissue of central nervous system and its surrounding fluid via the meninges, i.e. three dimensional networks of vessels, extracellular matrix fibers and cells. This cartoon depicts one of the basic principles behind this trafficking: when a T cell encounters a cellular partner that leads to its activation (white arrows), the T cell firmly adheres to and can enter the spinal cord. When this match does not take place the cell is likely to be washed off into the CSF. Artwork: Johannes Erzberger. Dr. rer.nat.
