Blood—Brain Barrier Genomics [PDF]

Journal of Cerebral Blood Flow & Metabolism, 2001
The blood–brain barrier (BBB) is formed by the brain microvascular endothelium, and the unique transport properties of the BBB are derived from tissue-specific gene expression within this cell. The current studies developed a gene microarray approach specific for the BBB by purifying the initial mRNA from isolated rat brain capillaries to generate ...

Exercise Capacity, Physical Activity, Fatigue, and Neurocognitive Function in Adult Survivors of Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Adult survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) are at risk of reduced exercise capacity, decreased physical activity levels, persistent fatigue, and neurocognitive deficits. The aim was to investigate exercise capacity and physical activity levels of adult survivors of childhood ALL and their associations with ...

The blood brain barrier and Lina Solomonovna Stern (Shtern)

Advances in Clinical Neuroscience & Rehabilitation, 2022
The blood–brain barrier (BBB) regulates the transport of molecules between the central nervous system (CNS) and blood. It consists of two components: the vascular endothelial cells forming so–called tight junctions, and the blood–cerebrospinal fluid ...
