Living on the Edge of the CNS: Meninges Cell Diversity in Health and Disease
Open accessAbstract
The meninges are the fibrous covering of the central nervous system (CNS) which contain vastly heterogeneous cell types within its three layers (dura, arachnoid, and pia). The dural compartment of the meninges, closest to the skull, is predominantly composed of fibroblasts, but also includes fenestrated blood vasculature, an elaborate lymphatic system, as well as immune cells which are distinct from the CNS. Segregating the outer and inner meningeal compartments is the epithelial-like arachnoid barrier cells, connected by tight and adherens junctions, which regulate the movement of pathogens, molecules, and cells into and out of the cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) and brain parenchyma. Most proximate to the brain is the collagen and basement membrane-rich pia matter that abuts the glial limitans and has recently be shown to have regional heterogeneity within the developing mouse brain. While the meninges were historically seen as a purely structural support for the CNS and protection from trauma, the emerging view of the meninges is as an essential interface between the CNS and the periphery, critical to brain development, required for brain homeostasis, and involved in a variety of diseases. In this review, we will summarize what is known regarding the development, specification, and maturation of the meninges during homeostatic conditions and discuss the rapidly emerging evidence that specific meningeal cell compartments play differential and important roles in the pathophysiology of a myriad of diseases including: multiple sclerosis, dementia, stroke, viral/bacterial meningitis, traumatic brain injury, and cancer. We will conclude with a list of major questions and mechanisms that remain unknown, the study of which represent new, future directions for the field of meninges biology.

TL;DR
This review summarizes the cellular diversity of the meninges—dura, arachnoid, and pia—and argues that meningeal fibroblasts, barrier cells, vasculature, lymphatics, and immune cells are active interfaces between the CNS and periphery in development, homeostasis, injury, and disease. It highlights emerging roles in multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, stroke/TBI, meningitis, and cancer, and lists major open questions.
Key findings
- Meningeal fibroblasts are molecularly distinct by layer: pial fibroblasts are enriched in ECM genes, arachnoid fibroblasts express RALDH2 and CRABP2 and produce retinoic acid that regulates brain/neurovascular development, and dural fibroblasts include periosteal and dural border populations. The primary meninx appears by E10.5 in mouse, layers are identifiable by E13.5 in ventral forebrain, and arachnoid barrier cells are first seen around E13; perivascular fibroblasts can extend over 200 μm on cerebral penetrating arterioles but only short distances on ascending venules.
- The arachnoid barrier is epithelial-like, with tight junctions (Claudin 11) and E-cadherin, and is enriched in transporters including ABCB1/Pgp, ABCG2/BCRP, ABCC4, OAT1, and OAT3. Pial vessels are barrier-like, lack PLVAP, express GLUT-1, and are impermeable to 44 kD horseradish peroxidase, whereas dural vessels are fenestrated and permeable to 44 kD HRP; dural lymphatics develop postnatally and become fully functional by approximately postnatal day 20 in mouse, draining CNS content to cervical lymph nodes.
- Leptomeninges primarily harbor macrophages and non-migratory dendritic cells, while dura contains macrophages, mast cells, B cells, T cells, neutrophils, innate lymphoid cells, and the largest CNS dendritic cell population. Border-associated macrophages originate from yolk sac erythro-myeloid progenitors; leptomeningeal BAMs express CD206 and Lyve1 and are long-lived, whereas dural BAMs lack Lyve1 and are continuously renewed by peripheral monocytes.
- In disease, meningeal and perivascular fibroblasts drive fibrotic scar formation after acute CNS injury; in EAE/MS, fibroblast expansion is deleterious for oligodendrocyte precursor cell differentiation and migration; meningeal lymphatic dysfunction is implicated in Alzheimer’s disease and TBI; meningitis involves immune infiltration and barrier disruption; and the leptomeninges are a common site for cancer metastasis.
Methods
- Narrative review; no primary data are reported.
- It synthesizes published literature on meningeal development, homeostasis, injury, and disease, with figures and a table of future directions.
- Main analysis is thematic synthesis across meningeal cell types and disease contexts; no systematic search or meta-analysis is described.
Limitations
- Stated: many unknowns and future directions are listed, including whether embryonic regionalization persists in adult meninges, layer-specific meningeal functions, arachnoid barrier development/function and leakiness, dural vasculature development, and CNS fibroblast identity/nomenclature.
- Stated: there is a lack of consensus on fibrotic scar cell nomenclature, with cells called stromal cells, mesenchymal cells, Type A pericytes, Type 2 pericytes, and fibroblasts.
- Evident: as a narrative review, it does not report primary experimental results, systematic search criteria, or quantitative synthesis; conclusions depend on the cited literature.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-07, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-07 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
