Potential therapeutic molecular targets for blood-brain barrier disruption after subarachnoid hemorrhage

open access: yesNeural Regeneration Research, 2019
Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage remains serious hemorrhagic stroke with high morbidities and mortalities. Aneurysm rupture causes arterial bleeding-induced mechanical brain tissue injuries and elevated intracranial pressure, followed by global ...

B3Pred: A Random-Forest-Based Method for Predicting and Designing Blood–Brain Barrier Penetrating Peptides

open access: yesPharmaceutics, 2021
The blood–brain barrier is a major obstacle in treating brain-related disorders, as it does not allow the delivery of drugs into the brain. We developed a method for predicting blood–brain barrier penetrating peptides to facilitate drug delivery into the

Circulating tumor cell viability during and after radiotherapy mirrors treatment response in cancer patients

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Radiotherapy (RT) response depends on the DNA repair capacity of tumor and host cells. We show that circulating tumor cell (CTC) counts and apoptosis rates before and after RT predict treatment response and outcome, which can be accessed via easily accessible liquid biopsy approaches. Created in BioRender. Wikman, H.

MRI assessment of the blood-brain barrier in a hamster model of scrapie

open access: yes, 1995
Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in combination with gadolinium-diethylenetriaminepenta-acetic acid (Gd-DTPA) enhancement was used to investigate the integrity of the blood-brain barrier in a hamster model of scrapie (263K) during the clinical phase of ...

The blood–brain barrier in health and disease: Important unanswered questions

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Medicine, 2020
The blood vessels of the central nervous system tightly control the movement of ions, molecules, and cells between the blood and tissue. This “blood–brain barrier” is vital for neural homeostasis and protection. This review discusses current knowledge of

In vitro model of the blood-brain barrier established by co-culture of primary cerebral microvascular endothelial and astrocyte cells

open access: yesNeural Regeneration Research, 2015
Drugs for the treatment and prevention of nervous system diseases must permeate the blood-brain barrier to take effect. In vitro models of the blood-brain barrier are therefore important in the investigation of drug permeation mechanisms.

A novel quinazolinone insulin receptor inhibitor and its synergy with an EGFR inhibitor in glucose‐driven glioblastoma

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
The novel styrylquinazolinone‐based molecule W1B effectively suppresses glioblastoma by inhibiting IGF1R and EGFR. In high‐glucose microenvironments driving tumor resistance, W1B acts synergistically with the EGFR inhibitor dacomitinib. This combination safely blocks compensatory survival signaling in zebrafish xenograft models. Showcasing promising in

Differentiation of the brain vasculature : the answer came blowing by the Wnt

open access: yes, 2010
Vascularization of the vertebrate brain takes place during embryonic development from a preformed perineural vascular plexus. As a consequence of the intimate contact with neuroectodermal cells the vessels, which are entering the brain exclusively via ...

Establishment and Dysfunction of the Blood-Brain Barrier

open access: yesCell, 2015
Structural and functional brain connectivity, synaptic activity and information processing require highly coordinated signal transduction between different cell types within the neurovascular unit and intact blood-brain barrier (BBB) functions.

Barrier mechanisms in the Drosophila blood-brain barrier

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2014
The invertebrate blood-brain barrier field is growing at a rapid pace and, in recent years, studies have shown a physiologic and molecular complexity that has begun to rival its vertebrate counterpart. Novel mechanisms of paracellular barrier maintenance
