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

Development of Polymeric Nanoparticles for Blood–Brain Barrier Transfer—Strategies and Challenges
Neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, stroke, and brain cancers are difficult to treat with current drugs as their delivery efficacy to the brain is severely hampered by the presence of the blood–brain barrier (BBB).

Extracellular vesicles: mediators and biomarkers of pathology along CNS barriers
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are heterogeneous, nano-sized vesicles that are shed into the blood and other body fluids, which disperse a variety of bioactive molecules (e.g., protein, mRNA, miRNA, DNA and lipids) to cellular targets over long and short ...

Activation of Wnt/β-catenin pathway mitigates blood–brain barrier dysfunction in Alzheimer’s disease
Alzheimer’s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that causes age-dependent neurological and cognitive declines. The treatments for Alzheimer’s disease pose a significant challenge, because the mechanisms of disease are not being fully understood ...

Transferrin Receptor Mediated Brain Uptake During Ischemia and Reperfusion
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.

Cerebrospinal fluid aquaporin-4-immunoglobulin G disrupts blood brain barrier [PDF]
To clarify the significance of immunoglobulin G autoantibody specific for the astrocyte water channel aquaporin-4 in cerebrospinal fluid, aquaporin-4-immunoglobulin G from a neuromyelitis optica patient was administered intrathecally to naïve mice, and ...

Pathogenetical significance of porencephalic lesions associated with intracerebral inoculation of sheep with the bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) agent [PDF]
Decreased rates of transmission of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) to sheep have been attributed to some polymorphisms of the prion protein (PrP) and to a ‘species barrier’ on interspecies experiments.

The restorative role of annexin A1 at the blood–brain barrier [PDF]
Annexin A1 is a potent anti-inflammatory molecule that has been extensively studied in the peripheral immune system, but has not as yet been exploited as a therapeutic target/agent. In the last decade, we have undertaken the study of this molecule in the
