Deep in the brain, sheets of tissue known as the choroid plexus produce cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and act as a protective barrier between the brain and CSF. But the lab of Maria Lehtinen, Ph.D., at ...

A study led by researchers at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC), in collaboration with the Proteomics ...

A new study led by Jonathan D. Santoro, MD, Director of the Neuroimmunology Program at Children's Hospital Los Angeles, shows evidence of dysfunction of the blood–brain barrier and inflammation in the ...

Research headed by teams at the University of Rochester Center for Translational Medicine and the University of Copenhagen describes for the first time how a spreading wave of disruption and the flow ...

The image of the “blood-brain barrier” as a static wall that shields the brain from the rest of the body is crumbling. A group of scientists argue, in a review published in Fluids and Barriers of the ...

Tau made in the brain eventually shows up in blood, but scientists still aren’t sure how it gets there. Now, research featured in Cell Press Blue offers a new idea. This journal launched in January to ...

Triple-negative breast cancer—the most aggressive breast cancer subtype—has a high propensity for brain metastases, with limited treatments and poor prognosis. The blood–brain barrier, long viewed as ...

VIB and Ghent University researchers have identified and characterized a previously unknown cellular barrier in the brain, which sheds new light on how the brain is protected from the rest of the body ...

A new research study led by Jonathan D. Santoro, MD, Director of the Neuroimmunology Program at Children's Hospital Los Angeles, shows evidence of dysfunction of the blood-brain barrier and ...

Researchers led by CHLA’s Jonathan D. Santoro, MD, have identified signs of neuroinflammation and dysfunction of the blood-brain barrier among patients with Down syndrome Regression Disorder (DSRD). A ...
