Age-related molecular and functional remodeling of the choroid plexus in the gray mouse lemur.
Article in PloS one, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Aging is accompanied by complex alterations in brain structure and functions, with growing evidence implicating the choroid plexus (CP) as a key regulator of cognitive and motor function. Here, we investigated age-related changes in the CP of the gray mouse lemur (Microcebus murinus), a non-human primate model that recapitulates human brain aging features. Lemurs of different ages underwent behavioral testing, followed by transcriptomic profiling and immunofluorescence analyses of lateral ventricle CP tissue. Behavioral assessments revealed age-related declines in motor coordination and exploratory drive, whereas working memory and visual discrimination remained preserved. Histological analysis showed no significant structural alterations in CP architecture. Transcriptomic profiling identified 1,519 upregulated and 1,682 downregulated genes with aging, highlighting increased interindividual heterogeneity, upregulation of immune- and transport-related pathways, and downregulation of signaling and intercellular communication processes. Functionally, AQP1 protein expression decreased with age without changes in mRNA levels, suggesting post-transcriptional regulation, whereas NKCC1 and TTR expression were largely maintained. Notably, reduced AQP1 expression correlated with age-related motor decline. These findings support a model in which aging mouse lemur CP undergoes functional reorganization and selective vulnerability rather than by generalized structural or functional deterioration. Our results highlight a primate-like aging profile of the CP, providing insights into mechanisms by which CP dysfunction may contribute to age-related motor decline and altered brain homeostasis.
