Group B Streptococci lyse endothelial cells to infect the brain in a zebrafish meningitis model.
PLoS BiologyTo cause meningitis, bacteria move from the bloodstream to the brain, crossing the endothelial cells of the blood-brain barrier. Most studies on how bacteria cross the blood-brain barrier have been performed in vitro using cultured endothelial cells, due

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Objective Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) significantly impacts employment capacity. This study aimed to investigate the impact of burden of disease activity, damage, and treatment on employment outcomes and transitions in patients with SLE. Methods Using data from a single center, we analyzed employment transitions, adjusted mean disease activity ...

Breaking boundaries: role of the brain barriers in metastatic process
Fluids and Barriers of the CNSBrain metastases (BMs) are the most common intracranial tumors in adults and occur 3–10 times more frequently than primary brain tumors. Despite intensive multimodal therapies, including resection, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, BMs are associated with ...

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Enhancing ultrasound transmission through an aberration layer exhibiting mismatched impedance with the surrounding medium possesses great implications in imaging and treatment. In this study, we show that a space‐coiling acoustic metamaterial with judiciously tailored structural profile can help improve impedance matching.

Unveiling the hidden connection: the blood-brain barrier’s role in epilepsy
Frontiers in NeurologyEpilepsy is characterized by abnormal synchronous electrical activity of neurons in the brain. The blood-brain barrier, which is mainly composed of endothelial cells, pericytes, astrocytes and other cell types and is formed by connections between a ...

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.We developed a patient‐derived, functional microfluidic model of the diffuse midline glioma (DMG) blood–brain–tumor barrier (BBTB) comprised of endothelial cells, astrocytes, pericytes, and tumor cells. The system forms perfusable microvasculature, reveals the BBTB retains vascular integrity, identifies DMG‐specific transcriptomic changes distinct from
