Computational and Pharmacological Target of Neurovascular Unit for Drug Design and Delivery
The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a dynamic and highly selective permeable interface between central nervous system (CNS) and periphery that regulates the brain homeostasis. Increasing evidences of neurological disorders and restricted drug delivery process in brain make BBB as special target for further study. At present, neurovascular unit (NVU) is a great interest and highlighted topic of pha...
متن کامل[Current concepts of perinatal ischemic injury in the brain neurovascular unit: molecular targets for neuroprotection].
Perinatal hypoxic-ischemic brain injury is a relevant medical and social problem. Among many pathological processes in the neonatal period perinatal hypoxic-ischemic injury is a major cause of further hemorrhage, necrotic and atrophic changes in the brain. This review presents recent data on the basic mechanisms of the hypoxic-ischemic brain injury along the concept of neurovascular unit (neuro...
متن کاملThe Neurovascular Niche after Irradiation to the Developing Brain
Radiotherapy is commonly used in the treatment of pediatric brain tumors but is unfortunately associated with debilitating negative effects, such as impaired memory and learning. Historically, vascular damage following radiotherapy was considered the primary injury which in turn caused ischemia and necrosis. This hypothesis was supported by studies reporting structural changes to blood vessels,...
متن کاملDissociation and protection of the neurovascular unit after thrombolysis and reperfusion in ischemic rat brain.
In the ischemic brain, reperfusion with tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) sometimes causes catastrophic hemorrhagic transformation (HT); however, the mechanism remains elusive. Here, we show that the basement membrane, and not the endothelial cells, is vulnerable to ischemic/reperfusion injury with tPA treatment. We treated a spontaneously hypertensive rat model of middle cerebral artery occlu...
متن کاملAbsence of TLR4 Reduces Neurovascular Unit and Secondary Inflammatory Process after Traumatic Brain Injury in Mice
BACKGROUND Traumatic brain injury (TBI) initiates a neuroinflammatory cascade that contributes to neuronal damage and behavioral impairment. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are signaling receptors in the innate immune system, although emerging evidence indicates their role in brain injury. We have therefore investigated the role played by TLR4 signaling pathway in the development of mechanisms of se...
