This is the best summary I could come up with:

“The team of scientists found that these connections often traverse even through the outermost and toughest layer of membrane, the dura, opening up even closer to the brain surface than previous thought,” according to a statement from Helmholz Munich.

Neuroinflammation, a common feature of neurological diseases such as Alzheimer’s, stroke, and multiple sclerosis (MS), can be caused when immune cells from the skull get into the brain.

They [invaders, the immune cells] want to destroy the inside, but they’re blocked, right?” said Ali Ertürk, head of the Institute for Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine at Helmholtz Munich.

To generate high-resolution images of the skull, meninges, and the brain for the first time the research team used “tissue clearing”, a specialised method to make organs and bones transparent.

Ertürk’s team of about thirty researchers who worked on the project for over four years hopes that “more accessible and practical ways” to monitor neurological diseases will be developed.

For example, small, portable detectors could be attached to the head permanently to deliver a continuous stream of information instead of periodic MRI and PET scans.
