Aging brains may struggle to clear out waste, contributing to memory loss and diseases like Alzheimer’s. But researchers have now found that improving the brain’s waste-draining vessels in old mice ...
The blood–brain barrier acts as a strict control point for what can enter the brain, and is created by tight junctions between endothelial cells lining blood vessels, astroyctic endfeet and a ...
A slimy barrier lining the brain’s blood vessels could hold the key to shielding the organ from the harmful effects of ageing, according to a study in mice. The finding shines a spotlight on a ...
The blood–brain barrier (BBB) is meant to protect the brain from noxious agents; however, it also significantly hinders the delivery of therapeutics to the brain. Several strategies have been ...
Another SCFA, butyrate, and the microbes that produce it are also important for forming the barrier between the brain and the blood, which is called the blood-brain barrier. Gut microbes also ...

The Immense Importance of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor Crossing the Blood-Brain Barrier According to research undertaken by Iughetti et al. (2011), the central nervous system and the ...
A 3D model accurately mimicking the Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB) in a laboratory environment has been successfully developed by research teams led by Professor Jinah Jang from the Departments of ...
