A 3D model has been developed that accurately replicates the complex structures of cerebral blood vessels, enabling ...

Here, we highlight the complex molecular signaling that takes place in neurons, glial cells and the blood-brain barrier following ischemic insult. We also describe the evidence of TRPM2 ...

The blood–brain barrier is the biggest challenge to the development of drugs that target the CNS. Most capillary beds leak plasma contents between and across endothelial cells by way of window-like ...

Financial writer recommends Voyager Therapeutics, Inc. for high-risk investors due to promising preclinical Alzheimer's ...

Researchers develop 3D blood-brain barrier model to study Alzheimers and neuroinflammation New platform created to improve understanding of neurodegenerative diseases through innovative testing ...

One especially vulnerable structure is the blood brain barrier, a protective layer of cells lining the inner surface of blood vessels. These cells form a membrane that usually keeps toxins out of the ...

The researchers reviewed over 150 studies to understand how this barrier changes with age. They found that even in healthy ...

Microplastics block blood vessels in brain, threaten nerve health, study finds Microplastics could disrupt cerebral function by obstructing blood flow, research reveals ...

A paper published Monday in Nature Medicine found that the tiny fragments of plastic are passing the blood-brain barrier and into ... microplastics’ effect on cells and organs examine spherical ...

Discover how excessive alcohol consumption may accelerate Alzheimers progression New research reveals shared brain ...

But since VLDLR is not expressed by blood vessel cells in the blood-brain barrier, they reasoned that there must be another way for Semliki Forest virus to enter the central nervous system.

Researchers and physicians at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre and The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) are the first ...
