A new nanocarrier meets the size and stability to effectively pass the BBB and deliver drugs to glioblastoma multiforme brain cancer. Read More
Researchers have made a promising discovery for people suffering from Alzheimer's disease. Insulin administered intranasally has lasting results for improving memory. Read More
Researchers at MIT have developed a new drug delivering nanoparticle that is able to cross the blood-brain barrier. The nanoparticles carry two different drugs that can help shrink tumors and prevent them from growing back. Read More
Cannabidiol may be able to bypass the blood-brain barrier to effectively deliver medications directly to the brain. Read More
Researchers have discovered how TH1 and TH17 immune cells obtain access to neurons in multiple sclerosis. Read More
A synthesized small-molecule drug blocks the TGF-beta receptor in astrocytes and traverses the blood-brain barrier in mice. When administered, the drug lowered receptor activity to that seen in younger mice and reduced inflammation. The aged mice were able to navigate mazes and learn spatial tasks as well as younger mice.

Researchers have succeeded in passing an antibody through the blood-brain barrier to act as a tracer for PET neuroimaging. Read More
Researchers discover glioblastoma brain tumor cells disrupt the blood brain barrier. The findings offer potential new avenues to treat brain cancer. Read More
Researchers report on how intranasal medications can be better absorbed and could provide more effective treatments for neurological diseases. Read More
A strain of a bacteria commonly associated with food poisoning could prove an unlikely ally in the battle against glioblastoma brain cancer, a new study reports. Read More
A new study reports some people with schizophrenia have increased numbers of immune cells in their brains. Researchers say the immune cells may be producing inflammatory signals in those with the condition. Read More
Researchers have mapped cells that form the brain's blood vessels and blood brain barrier. Read More
