Pondicherry University's Life Sciences lecture series explores brain barrier integrity, neuroprotection, and lifestyle ...

Scientists have spent decades trying to get medicine across the blood-brain barrier. Two treatments for a rare genetic ...

Peter Searson is leading a Johns Hopkins University team that is unravelling how Alzheimer's and other diseases disrupt the blood-brain barrier, the complex interface that allows or blocks the passage ...

The cells that line the blood vessels in our brains are highly selective. By deciding which molecules are allowed in and out of our most important organ, the barrier these cells form is critical for ...

Our brain is an extremely complex and delicate organ. Our body fiercely protects it by holding onto things that help it and keeping harmful things out, such as bugs that can cause infection and toxins ...

Many patients with Long COVID complain of “brain fog,” a disturbing sense of impaired thought that is often but not consistently quantitatively measurable. A recent study in Nature Neuroscience used a ...

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, ...

A study recently published in Nature has identified a key factor in the age-related breakdown of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and has demonstrated that this damage may be reversible, potentially ...

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, ...

A recent study has found that an ion transporter protein that regulates the pH of specific brain cells can repair the blood-brain barrier and restore normal brain function after ischemic stroke. The ...
