A clinical study shows that preoperative dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) perfusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can ...

“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 ...

Scientists at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have developed a lipid nanoparticle system capable of delivering messenger RNA (mRNA) to the brain via intravenous injection, a challenge that ...

For decades, scientists across the globe have investigated methods to accurately measure drug permeability across the blood-brain barrier, a compact layer of cells that protect the brain from ...

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 ...

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.

While this protects the brain from external threats, it also presents a major challenge for treating neurological diseases, as many potentially therapeutic compounds are unable to cross. One potential ...

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, ...

Microplastics have been found in our lungs, guts, and even our blood. Now, researchers say they may reduce protective enzymes and proteins that keep neurons strong. Stacey Leasca is an award-winning ...

Scientists have long struggled to define brain fog—let alone pinpoint a cause for it. But research is starting to reveal multiple potential causes from inflammation to a leaky blood-brain barrier.
