Breaching the Blood-Brain Barrier for Drug Delivery
Molecular "hitchhiking" through receptor-mediated transcytosis at the blood-brain barrier is a CNS drug delivery strategy. In this issue of Neuron, Niewoehner et al. (2014) describe a modular anti-transferrin receptor Fab approach for shuttling therapeutic antibodies into the brain.
متن کاملBreaching the mucosal barrier by stealth: an emerging pathogenic mechanism for enteroadherent bacterial pathogens.
The clinical and molecular understanding of bacterial diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, developed largely over the past 50 years, has led to our current assignment of these causative agents into an evolving set of mechanistic categories (see Table 1). Early studies revealed that some organisms (Staphylococcus aureus among them) produce toxins in contaminated foods and that, upon ingestion...
متن کاملInducible and reversible breaching of the blood brain barrier by RNAi
Sequence-specific knockdown of gene expression is a goal that has been long sought by both basic and clinical investigators. In this regard, the discovery of RNA interference (RNAi) in Caenorhabditis elegans was immediately recognized as a potential breakthrough for studying gene function (Fire et al, 1998). These findings demonstrated that double-stranded (ds)RNAs are triggers for sequence-spe...
متن کاملBreaching the Blood-Brain Barrier as a Gate to Psychiatric Disorder
The mechanisms underlying the development and progression of psychiatric illnesses are only partially known. Clinical data suggest blood-brain barrier (BBB) breakdown and inflammation are involved in some patients groups. Here we put forward the "BBB hypothesis" and abnormal blood-brain communication as key mechanisms leading to neuronal dysfunction underlying disturbed cognition, mood, and beh...
متن کاملBreaching the Placenta
Most maternally administered chemicals have the potential to cross the placental barrier, and the question is not whether a chemical crosses the placenta, but the rate at which it does so. In this issue, Osamu Takahashi and Shinshi Oishi of the Tokyo Metropolitan Research Laboratory of Public Health present their findings that the placenta fails to act as a barrier to a potentially toxic compou...
