Disruption of embryonic blood-CSF barrier in chick embryos reveals the actual importance of this barrier to control E-CSF composition and homeostasis in early brain development [PDF]

, 2013
In vertebrates, early brain development takes place at the expanded anterior end of the neural tube. After closure of the anterior neuropore, the brain wall forms a physiologically sealed cavity that encloses embryonic cerebrospinal fluid (E-CSF), a ...

Glucose-targeted niosomes deliver vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) to the brain [PDF]

, 2004
The aim of this study was to evaluate glucose-bearing niosomes as a brain targeted delivery system for the vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP). To this end, VIP/125I-VIP-loaded glucose-bearing niosomes were intravenously injected to mice.

Influence of serotonin on the blood-brain and blood-spinal cord barriers : Serotonin and the blood-brain barrier

, 2004
Serotonin concentration is very high in the CNS and several serotonergic receptors are present in the cerebral vessels. Elevation of plasma and tissue serotonin occurs under a wide variety of neurological and psychiatric conditions.

Wnt/beta-catenin signaling controls development of the blood–brain barrier [PDF]

, 2008
The blood–brain barrier (BBB) is confined to the endothelium of brain capillaries and is indispensable for fluid homeostasis and neuronal function. In this study, we show that endothelial Wnt/beta-catenin (beta-cat) signaling regulates induction and ...

Uptake mechanism of ApoE-modified nanoparticles on brain capillary endothelial cells as a blood-brain barrier model [PDF]

, 2012
Background: The blood-brain barrier (BBB) represents an insurmountable obstacle for most drugs thus obstructing an effective treatment of many brain diseases.

Wnt activation of immortalized brain endothelial cells as a tool for generating a standardized model of the blood brain barrier in vitro [PDF]

, 2013
Reproducing the characteristics and the functional responses of the blood–brain barrier (BBB) in vitro represents an important task for the research community, and would be a critical biotechnological breakthrough.

Transferrin Receptor Mediated Brain Uptake During Ischemia and Reperfusion

Journal of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2013
Purpose. Drug delivery by transferrin receptor-mediated transport at the blood-brain barrier has shown beneficial effects in animal models of stroke, but it is unclear whether receptor mediated uptake remains functional in the ischemic tissue.

"In vitro" evaluation of blood-brain barrier transport [PDF]

, 2014
The blood-brain barrier (BBB), which is formed by brain capillary endothelial cells, effectively protects the central nervous system (CNS) from potential neurotoxic agents and maintains the brain homeostasis for synaptic signaling (Abbott, 2004 ...

The embryonic blood-CSF barrier has molecular elements for specific glucose transport and for the general transport of molecules via transcellular routes. [PDF]

, 2010
In vertebrates, early brain development takes place at the expanded anterior end of the neural tube, which is filled with embryonic cerebrospinal fluid (E-CSF).
