A new drug targeting inflammation in the brain has been shown to bolster the blood-brain barrier in mice, pioneering a ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have shown how the bacteria causing tuberculosis (TB) directly cross the brain's ...

Scientists discover a treatment in mice to repair the blood-brain barrier, which is key to brain health. There's a bouncer in everyone: The blood-brain barrier, a layer of cells between blood ...

thanks to a feature known as the blood-brain barrier. Bioengineers believe that they can finally work around this barrier to deliver advanced treatments for medical conditions. Early goals include ...

Stanford researchers restore sugars in the brain's glycocalyx, strengthen the blood-brain barrier, and significantly improve ...

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 (BBB) performs this vital function, but it can become “leaky.” Now, scientists at Stanford have identified therapeutic molecules that could help patch it up ...

The brain is among the most “immune-privileged” of organs primarily through the highly selective permeability of the blood-brain-barrier (BBB), its minimal lymphatic drainage, the presence of ...

The device inside the skull opens the blood-brain barrier, repeatedly using sound waves to permeate the barrier and reach the brain tumor. IV chemotherapy is then able to reach the neurological ...

Researchers at the National University of Singapore have reported crossing the blood–brain barrier with help from a modified Lactobacillus plantarum. By delivering an appetite-regulating hormone ...

The investigational treatment involved creating an opening in the blood-brain barrier with MRI-guided focused ultrasound to boost drug delivery. In each of three participants who received ...

Oregon State University researchers have discovered a way to get anti-inflammatory medicine across the blood-brain barrier, opening the door to potential new therapies for a range of conditions ...
