Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The choroid plexuses (ChPs) are modified epithelial structures that penetrate all four cerebral ventricles and secrete cerebrospinal fluid. They consist of a central stroma that is vascularized with fenestrated blood vessels and connective tissue. The ChPs are of dual embryonic origin, with forebrain neuroepithelial cells contributing to the epithelial component and mesenchymal cells contributing to the stromal cells. The growth of the ChPs into the ventricular spaces is fueled by the migration and proliferation of neuroepithelial progenitor cells originating from the cortical hem. However, the genetic regulation of neuroepithelial progenitor (NEP) migration during ChP development is not well understood. Here, we report the role of Mllt11 (Af1q/Tcf7c) in the formation of the ChP in part by regulating the migration of Otx1/2+ NEPs into the base of the fetal ChP, fueling its 'treadmilling' growth into the lateral ventricle. We used Cux2iresCre/+ allele to selectively ablate Mllt11 in the developing cortical hem and its principal derivatives, the ChP and hippocampus. We discovered that Mllt11 mutants displayed thickened cuboid epithelial architecture of the ChP but maintained the epithelial organization of the outer layer of the ChP. This likely contributed to shorter lateral ventricle ChP stalks in Mllt11 cKO brains.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
