Pharmaceutics, 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

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Inositol pyrophosphates are energy‐rich signaling molecules that perform critical functions in cells. Three different families of phosphatases hydrolyze the β phosphate of the inositol pyrophosphate molecules: two have narrow specificities and one is promiscuous.

Regional variation in the current flow across an insect blood-brain barrier [PDF]
, 1990 One notable characteristic of the insect and vertebrate central nervous system is the presence of a clearly defined blood-brain barrier. In the insect this barrier is made up of the perineurial glial cells, and shows a heterogeneity in structure and ...

Cortical organotypic slice cultures as a tool to analyze the neurovascular unit in hypoxia/ischemia and hypothermia-induced neuroprotection [PDF]
, 2013 Neurons and glial cells of the central nervous system (CNS) communicate and work together to function and execute an array of complex tasks. In addition to them a third cell type which also works to keep the brain alive are the cerebral endothelial cells

Neural 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 ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Although too much iron in the brain promotes neurodegeneration, iron ion chelators have had mixed effects in clinical trials. This review explains why; some chelators do not render the iron redox‐inactive (e.g., L1) whereas others do (e.g., desferrioxamine).

β1-integrin/matrix interactions support blood-brain barrier integrity [PDF]
, 2011 Brain microvascular endothelium forms an active permeability barrier, the blood-brain barrier (BBB). In neurologic disorders, barrier properties of the BBB are often lost indicating their dependance on molecular cues of the brain microenvironment.

Neural 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.

Adipokines and the blood-brain barrier [PDF]
Peptides, 2007 Just as the blood-brain barrier (BBB) is not a static barrier, the adipocytes are not inert storage depots. Adipokines are peptides or polypeptides produced by white adipose tissue; they play important roles in normal physiology as well as in the metabolic syndrome. Adipokines secreted into the circulation can interact with the BBB and exert potent CNS

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...
