Study: How antibodies across blood-brain barrier treat Alzheimer's disease
Updated : 2 weeks, 4 days ago IST
Sometimes the finest things in life happen by coincidence, when we happen to be in the right location at the right moment. Now, Japanese researchers have discovered a method to ensure that new treatments are delivered to the proper area in the body and at the right moment in illness progress

Study finds new artificial model helps antibody-based treatments to reach
Updated : 4 weeks, 1 day ago IST
An artificial blood-brain barrier model that has been constructed by researchers at Uppsala University is quick and accurate, and it may be used to assess how well antibody-based treatments can reach the brain. The new model may lessen the requirement for animal testing, which is now the mos

Study reveals why brain cells are needed for fever
Updated : 5 months ago IST
The body's response to infection or inflammation is fever, which also serves as a defence mechanism against things like viruses and bacteria. The body releases molecules called cytokines into the bloodstream when it is infected or inflammatory. The blood-brain barrier, a system of microscopi

Researchers find new functions for blood-brain barrier in neuron function
Updated : 7 months, 1 week ago IST
Washington [US], August 17 (ANI): Researchers have made a surprising discovery linking Delta/Notch signalling in subperineurial glia (SPG) to the regulation of nerve ensheathment and neurotransmitter release at the Drosophila neuromuscular junction (NMJ). SPG, the counterpart of the endothel
