Researchers of a new study have discovered that DSRD patients showed signs of neuroinflammation and blood-brain barrier ...

Rejuvenating the brain's lymphatic vessels can enhance memory in aging mice by improving the removal of waste products from ...

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 ...

Researchers led by CHLA’s Jonathan D. Santoro, MD, have identified signs of neuroinflammation and dysfunction of the ...

These cells lining the inside of your brain's blood vessels are tightly packed together, forming your blood-brain barrier.

Aging compromises the lymphatic vessels surrounding the brain, disabling waste drainage from the brain and impacting cognitive function. Researchers boosted lymphatic vessel integrity in old mice and ...

The blood-CSF barrier has been far less studied than the blood-brain barrier. Scientists have detected age-related changes in gene expression in the choroid plexus, and have linked these to increased ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

The aim is to overcome the blood-brain barrier which normally only allows certain nutrients and oxygen to pass through. Microbubbles that react to ultrasound are a particularly promising method for ...
