Assessing Blood Brain Barrier Permeability in Traumatic Brain Injury Research

ADMET and DMPK, 2015
The blood brain barrier plays an important role in traumatic brain injury, serving at the crossroads of secondary injury and potential therapies. In regards to trauma, this barrier contains an array of cellular and molecular components that protect the ...

Neurovascular Contacts in the Pathophysiology of Neuralgic Amyotrophy: An Observational Study

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Neuralgic amyotrophy (NA) is a prevalent, monophasic, multifocal immune‐mediated neuropathy. A distinctive characteristic of the disease is the occurrence of nerve or fascicle constrictions and torsions (NA‐associated focal nerve lesions, NAFL). The pathophysiology underlying this phenomenon remains to be fully elucidated.

Peripheral Neutrophil Activation and Extracellular Trap Formation in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
Markers of neutrophil activation are increased in plasma during ALS, and markers of NET formation associate with ALS survival. ABSTRACT Objectives Peripheral neutrophil levels in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) inversely correlate with survival, suggesting a role for neutrophils in disease progression.

Interaction of major facilitator superfamily domain containing 2A with the blood–brain barrier

Neural Regeneration Research
The functional and structural integrity of the blood–brain barrier is crucial in maintaining homeostasis in the brain microenvironment; however, the molecular mechanisms underlying the formation and function of the blood–brain barrier remain poorly ...

Permeability of the Blood-Brain Barrier and Transport of Nanobodies Across the Blood-Brain Barrier

Folia Veterinaria, 2018
The presence of a blood-brain barrier (BBB) and a blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier presents animmense challenge for effective delivery of therapeutics to the central nervous system. Many potential drugs, which are effective at their site of action, have

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

, 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 ...

T1 Over Squared Proton Density Ratio to Characterize Multiple Sclerosis Lesions

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Differentiating remyelinated from demyelinated lesions in MS remains challenging without histological confirmation. This study introduces the T1‐to‐PD2 ratio (TPR) imaging approach and evaluates its ability to characterize MS lesions alongside other quantitative MRI (qMRI) metrics. Methods Thirty individuals with MS (mean age: 47.5 ±

Device-assisted strategies for drug delivery across the blood-brain barrier to treat glioblastoma

Communications Materials
The blood-brain barrier, essential for protecting the central nervous system, also restricts drug delivery to this region. Thus, delivering drugs across the blood-brain barrier is an active research area in immunology, oncology, and neurology; moreover ...

Beyond wrecking a wall: revisiting the concept of blood–brain barrier breakdown in ischemic stroke

Neural Regeneration Research
The blood–brain barrier constitutes a dynamic and interactive boundary separating the central nervous system and the peripheral circulation. It tightly modulates the ion transport and nutrient influx, while restricting the entry of harmful factors, and ...

Paramagnetic Rim Lesions and Choroid Plexus Volume at Diagnosis Are Associated With Cognitive Progression Independent of Relapse and MRI Activity in Early Relapsing–Remitting Multiple Sclerosis

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Paramagnetic rim lesions (PRLs) and choroid plexus (CP) enlargement reflect smoldering inflammation in multiple sclerosis. Their role in cognitive progression remains unexplored. Eighty‐seven early relapsing–remitting MS patients were enrolled at diagnosis and followed longitudinally.
