A model of a membrane called the blood–brain barrier could transform how scientists study drug delivery to the brain, as well as diseases of the brain’s vascular network. The model combines two ...

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

Delivering therapies to the brain remains a major challenge due to the limited permeability of the blood-brain barrier. In a ...

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

The blood-brain barrier is a natural membrane that protects your brain from toxins and germs. Unfortunately, this barrier also hampers the delivery of important medicines and therapies into the brain.

Major advance promises to accelerate the understanding and improved treatment of a wide range of brain disorders, including stroke, cerebral vascular disorders, brain cancer, Alzheimer's disease, ...

Scientists at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have developed a lipid nanoparticle system capable of delivering ...

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 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 ...
