The brain relies on crucial proteins to maintain neurons. This system is disrupted in mice with neurological disease.

Your brain is protected by the blood-brain barrier—a network of cells in the brain's blood vessels that serves as a border between the brain and the rest of your bloodstream. But it's not just a ...

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 ...

The cells that line the blood vessels in our brains are highly selective. By deciding which molecules are allowed in and out of our most important organ, the barrier these cells form is critical for ...

A review in Fluids and Barriers of the CNS links mitochondrial dysfunction to blood-brain barrier failure and explores ...

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 ...

Scientists have spent decades trying to get medicine across the blood-brain barrier. Two treatments for a rare genetic ...
