Researchers have defined a process that can help to create more realistic human blood-brain barriers in a dish.
A new study reports amyloid beta induces a strong inflammatory response, destroying the blood-CSF barrier.
According to a new study, brain cells lining blood vessels produce a protein that impairs neuronal firing in the hippocampus during an antiviral immune response.
Researchers discover the DAG peptide can recognize specific protein elevation in brain blood vessels of both mouse models and humans with Alzheimer's disease.
A new blood-brain barrier on a chip system is being used to study neuroinflammation, researchers report.
Vascular cell loss results in neuron loss, researchers report. However, pericytes secrete a substance that helps protect neurons, even when vascular cell degeneration begins to occur.
Researchers are looking at whether short, daily bouts of limb compression can help to reduce dementia.
A new study reports on how a key component of the nervous system develops during the embryonic stage.
Exposure to everyday stressors may result in impairments in endothelial function for patients with major depressive disorder. The findings reveal a possible reason for the association between stress, depression and an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
Researchers successfully grew adult human neurons from tissue donated from surgery patients. The researchers were able to identify at least 5 brain cell types and the potential proteins each cell could make.
A new study reports statins can protect blood vessels from a substance that causes inflammation.
Researchers reveal high salt intake reduces resting cerebral blood flow and can contribute to dementia in mice.
