Glymphatic System Enhancement via Baicalein-Induced AQP4 Polarization and Perivascular Clearance
Description
Baicalein restores proper AQP4 polarization in astrocytic endfeet through modulation of dystrophin-dystroglycan complex and α-syntrophin interactions. Enhanced AQP4 polarization improves glymphatic flow and perivascular clearance of protein aggregates, reducing neuroinflammation via NF-κB pathway inhibition.
