Endothelial tight junctions and cell-matrix adhesions reciprocally control blood-brain barrier integrity
Brain endothelial cells (ECs) rely on mechanical cues to provide a physical barrier that protects the brain. Yet how ECs integrate forces to establish and maintain the blood-brain barrier (BBB) remain...

Proteome profile differences among human, monkey, and mouse brain microvessels and cultured brain microvascular endothelial cells - Fluids and Barriers of the CNS
Background The blood-brain barrier (BBB) expresses transporters, receptors, and tight junction proteins that regulate the exchange of substances between the blood and brain. The differences in the exp...
