Inhibition of VEGF and Angiopoietin-2 to Reduce Brain Metastases of Breast Cancer Burden.

TL;DR: Combinatorial inhibition of VEGF and angiopoietin reduces lesion permeability and brain metastatic burden in mouse model of brain metastases of breast cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Developmental expression of multidrug resistance phosphoglycoprotein (P-gp) in the mouse fetal brain and glucocorticoid regulation.

TL;DR: P-gp mediated protection of the fetal brain increases with advancing gestation in an isoform-specific manner and this will likely have clinical implication given the extensive use of synthetic glucocorticoid in the management of PTL.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nanotechnology-based drug delivery for central nervous system disorders.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review aimed to highlight advances in research on the development of nano-based therapeutics for their implications in therapy of CNS disorders, and the challenges during clinical translation of nanomedicine from bench to bed side is also discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

ApoE-Targeting Increases the Transfer of Solid Lipid Nanoparticles with Donepezil Cargo across a Culture Model of the Blood–Brain Barrier

TL;DR: In this article, the authors designed a nanoscale drug delivery system for a more efficient transfer of donepezil, an anticholinergic drug in the therapy of Alzheimer's disease across the blood-brain barrier (BBB).
Journal ArticleDOI

Brain tight junction protein expression in sepsis in an autopsy series.

TL;DR: In fatal sepsis, damaged BBB defined as a loss of cerebral endothelial expression of occludin is related with severe organ dysfunction and systemic inflammation.

Principles of Neural Science

Michael P. Alexander
- 06 Jun 1986 - 
TL;DR: The editors have done a masterful job of weaving together the biologic, the behavioral, and the clinical sciences into a single tapestry in which everyone from the molecular biologist to the practicing psychiatrist can find and appreciate his or her own research.
Journal ArticleDOI

Astrocyte–endothelial interactions at the blood–brain barrier

TL;DR: Specific interactions between the brain endothelium, astrocytes and neurons that may regulate blood–brain barrier function are explored to lead to the development of new protective and restorative therapies.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Blood-Brain Barrier in Health and Chronic Neurodegenerative Disorders

TL;DR: These findings support developments of new therapeutic approaches for chronic neurodegenerative disorders directed at the blood-brain barrier and other nonneuronal cells of the neurovascular unit.
Journal ArticleDOI

Junctions between intimately apposed cell membranes in the vertebrate brain

TL;DR: Endothelial and epithelial tight junctions occlude the interspaces between blood and parenchyma or cerebral ventricles, thereby constituting a structural basis for the blood-brain and blood-cerebrospinal fluid barriers.
Journal ArticleDOI

The human ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter superfamily

TL;DR: The ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters are essential for many processes in the cell and mutations in these genes cause or contribute to several human genetic disorders including cystic fibrosis, neurological disease, retinal degeneration, cholesterol and bile transport defects, anemia, and drug response.
