Researchers have made a surprising discovery linking Delta/Notch signaling in subperineurial glia (SPG) to the regulation of nerve ensheathment and neurotransmitter release at the Drosophila ...
In a recent primer paper published in the journal Current Biology, researchers elucidated the structure and function of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). It highlights the BBB as a complex, dynamic ...
Researchers identify novel gelatinase substrates involved in astroglial barrier function The endothelial cells on the inner wall of cerebral blood vessels form a protective barrier to the brain via ...
The signal, produced by neurons, helps the barrier form and maintain its protective properties. What makes the vital layer of protective cells around the brain and spinal cord -- the blood-brain ...
