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).

Regulation of brain endothelial barrier function by microRNAs in health and neuroinflammation [PDF]
Brain endothelial cells constitute the major cellular element of the highly specialized blood–brain barrier (BBB) and thereby contribute to CNS homeostasis by restricting entry of circulating leukocytes and blood-borne molecules into the CNS.

Hypoxic oligodendrocyte precursor cell-derived VEGFA is associated with blood–brain barrier impairment [PDF]
Cerebral small vessel disease is characterised by decreased cerebral blood flow and blood–brain barrier impairments which play a key role in the development of white matter lesions.

Harmful Effects of Smoking Cannabis: A Cerebrovascular and Neurological Perspective
Apart from being used as a medicine, cannabis or marijuana is the most widely abused recreational drug all over the world. The legalization and decriminalization of cannabis in Canada and various states of USA may be the underlying reason of the ...

Resonant spin transport through a superconducting double barrier structure [PDF]
We study resonant transport through a superconducting double barrier structure. At each barrier, due to the proximity effect, an incident electron can either reflect as an electron or a hole (Andreev reflection). Similarly, transport across the barrier can occur via direct tunneling as electrons as well as via the crossed Andreev channel, where a hole ...

Systematic study of fusion barriers with energy dependent barrier radius [PDF]
Considering energy dependence of the barrier radius in heavy-ion fusion reactions, a modified Siwek-Wilczy\'{n}ski (MSW) fusion cross section formula is proposed. With the MSW formula, the fusion barrier parameters for 367 reaction systems are systematically extracted, based on 443 datasets of measured cross sections. We find that the fusion excitation
