Activation of adenosine A<sub>2B </sub>receptors enhances ciliary beat frequency in mouse lateral ventricle ependymal cells

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Ependymal cells form a protective monolayer between the brain parenchyma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). They possess motile cilia important for directing the flow of CSF through the ventricular system. While ciliary beat frequency in...
