New nanomaterial passes the blood-brain barrier to reduce damaging inflammation after the most common form of stroke. When ...

A new drug targeting inflammation in the brain has been shown to bolster the blood-brain barrier in mice, pioneering a potential shift in the fight against neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's.

The blood-brain and blood-retinal barriers are protective systems that prevent harmful substances from entering the brain and ...

The central nerve system (CNS) plays a crucial central regulatory role in mammalian life, and the blood-brain barrier is the most selective physical barrier protecting the brain by strictly ...

A nanomaterial based on a platform developed by Professor Samuel Stupp crosses the blood-brain barrier and targets harmful ...

A new study from researchers at the University of Illinois Chicago reveals how the blood-brain barrier gets leakier with age, contributing to memory deficits. The study, published in Cell Reports, ...

The effectiveness of chemotherapy for brain cancer, done with a technique that opens the blood-brain barrier, can be monitored by blood draw, researchers at Northwestern Medicine and the University of ...

“If we want to address BBB dysfunction, we have to have a good human BBB model,” said Ziyuan Guo, a neurobiologist and stem cell scientist at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. “The whole ...
