Researchers report that the microRNA miR-21a-5p protects the injured blood–brain barrier in cellular models by directly ...

Researchers at Sunnybrook Research Institute and the University of Toronto, led by Isabelle Aubert, Ph.D., have published results of a preclinical study examining focused ultrasound's potential to ...

A study in Cell Death Discovery links perioperative destabilization of regulatory T cells to blood–brain barrier disruption ...

A study led by researchers at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC), in collaboration with the Proteomics Platform of the Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB Barcelona), has ...

Scientists have spent decades trying to get medicine across the blood-brain barrier. Two treatments for a rare genetic disorder have already made it through. Now an experimental Alzheimer’s drug is ...

A study recently published in Nature has identified a key factor in the age-related breakdown of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and has demonstrated that this damage may be reversible, potentially ...

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 employed ...

In a recent primer paper published in the journal Current Biology, researchers elucidated the structure and function of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). It highlights the BBB as a complex, dynamic ...

A rare genetic change may help explain why some people with a high-risk Alzheimer’s gene remain mentally sharp into old age.
