In the new blood-brain barrier on a chip, astrocytes (bottom) grow more naturally and function better. They interface with epithelial cells above them, and the better astrocyte health helps the ...
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 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 ...
Researchers led by CHLA’s Jonathan D. Santoro, MD, have identified signs of neuroinflammation and dysfunction of the ...
The blood-brain barrier serves as a protective shield, preventing many substances-including potentially beneficial therapies-from reaching the brain. While previous research from Mount Sinai ...
