Vascular mural cells protect the adult brain from haemorrhage but do not control the blood-brain barrier in developing zebrafish
This important study examines the role of pericytes in patterning the zebrafish blood-brain barrier (BBB) and controlling its permeability. Using pdgfrb mutant zebrafish models lacking brain pericytes ...

The role of TRPM2 channels in neurons, glial cells and the blood-brain barrier in cerebral ischemia and hypoxia
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 ...

Blasts from military weapons may injure the brain through its blood vessels
When military personnel fire certain powerful weapons, they are exposed to a blast wave that sends blood surging from the body to the brain. This “tsunami in the body” is one way a blast can ...
Traumatic brain injuries have toxic effects that last weeks after initial impact − an antioxidant material reduces this damage in mice
Addressing the harmful chemical processes that accompany blunt force trauma to the brain can reduce the risk of long-term ...
