Glutamate-mediated blood-brain barrier opening. implications for neuroprotection and drug delivery [PDF]

, 2016
The blood-brain barrier is a highly selective anatomical and functional interface allowing a unique environment for neuro-glia networks. Blood-brain barrier dysfunction is common in most brain disorders and is associated with disease course and delayed ...

Human ES-derived MSCs correct TNF-α-mediated alterations in a blood–brain barrier model

Fluids and Barriers of the CNS, 2019
Background Immune cell trafficking into the CNS is considered to contribute to pathogenesis in MS and its animal model, EAE. Disruption of the blood–brain barrier (BBB) is a hallmark of these pathologies and a potential target of therapeutics.

Mechanisms of modulation of brain microvascular endothelial cells function by thrombin. [PDF]

, 2017
Brain microvascular endothelial cells are a critical component of the blood-brain barrier. They form a tight monolayer which is essential for maintaining the brain homeostasis.

Blood-brain barrier transport kinetics of NOTA-modified proteins : the somatropin case [PDF]

, 2020
BACKGROUND: Chemical modifications such as PEG, polyamine and radiolabeling on proteins can alter their pharmacokinetic behaviour and their blood-brain barrier (BBB) transport characteristics. NOTA, i.e. 1,4,7-triazacyclononane-1,4,7-triacetic acid, is a

Blood-Brain Barrier Genomics [PDF]

Stroke, 2007
Blood-brain barrier (BBB) genomics begins with the isolation of capillaries from fresh animal or human brain and is followed on the same day with the purification of capillary-derived RNA. The identification of microvascular-enriched genes from a whole brain gene microarray is unlikely because the brain capillary endothelial volume is <0.1% of total

Spatiotemporal resolution of spinal meningeal and parenchymal inflammation during experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis

Neurobiology of Disease, 2017
Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) induced by active immunization of C57BL/6 mice with peptide from myelin oligodendrocyte protein (MOG35–55), is a neuroinflammatory, demyelinating disease widely recognized as an animal model of multiple ...

Structure and function of the blood–brain barrier

Neurobiology of Disease, 2010
Neural signalling within the central nervous system (CNS) requires a highly controlled microenvironment. Cells at three key interfaces form barriers between the blood and the CNS: the blood–brain barrier (BBB), blood–CSF barrier and the arachnoid barrier.

Research progress on perioperative blood-brain barrier damage and its potential mechanism

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023
The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is an important barrier separating the central nervous system from the periphery. The composition includes endothelial cells, pericytes, astrocytes, synapses and tight junction proteins.
