A model of a membrane called the blood–brain barrier could transform how scientists study drug delivery to the brain, as well as diseases of the brain’s vascular network. The model combines two ...

“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 ...

A new study suggests that the blood-brain barrier (BBB) remains intact in a widely used mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease.

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, ...

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.
