Building a better blood-brain barrier
A new three-dimensional model of the blood-brain barrier can be used to study processes that are involved in neurodegenerative diseases.
متن کاملBuilding a better blood system for Canadians.
Each year, donated blood saves or improves the lives of thousands of Canadians. Yet blood is also the potential carrier of both viral and bacterial infections. This possibility was fully realized in the 1980s when blood supplies around the globe were infected with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Hepatitis C Virus (HCV). It is the mission of Canadian Blood Services (CBS) to provide the sa...
متن کاملBlood Brain Barrier Permeation
The large surface area and the short diffusion distance from capillaries of the blood brain barrier (BBB) to the neurons facilitate the drugs and nutrients access to the brain. Penetration of chemicals to the BBB occurs using a combination of intra and intercellular passages. Tight junctions regulate the intracellular passage of molecules according to their physicochemical properties (e.g. lipo...
متن کاملThe blood-brain barrier.
In autoimmune neurologic disorders, the blood-brain barrier (BBB) plays a central role in immunopathogenesis, since this vascular interface is an entry path for cells and effector molecules of the peripheral immune system to reach the target organ, the central nervous system (CNS). The BBB's unique anatomic structure and the tightly regulated interplay of its cellular and acellular components a...
متن کاملBlood-brain Barrier Experiment
The graphical tools (see Section 4) showed that the logarithmic transformation applied to both the response (concentration ratio) and the explanatory variable sacrifice time makes the relationship between the two variables approximately linear. In this section we will examine the relationship between the logarithm of concentration ratio (LNRATIO) and the eight explanatory variables with the fol...
