Dangerous Leaks: Blood-Brain Barrier Woes in the Aging Hippocampus
نویسنده
چکیده
A leaky blood-brain barrier has long been implicated in cognitive dysfunction in aging and neurodegeneration, but reliable human data were lacking. Here, Montagne et al. (2015) provide the first in vivo evidence of blood-brain barrier disruption in the aging hippocampus and in minimal cognitive impairment.

Recently neuro-inflammation and cognitive impairment has attracted attention. It has been suggested that obesity lead to cognitive impairments induced by neuro-inflammatory markers like nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kB) and reduced neurotrophin factors like brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the hippocampus. Also, increased blood brain barrier (BBB) permeability. Because of the neuro-prot...

Objective(s): Cognitive defects such as learning and memory impairment are amongst the most repetitious sequelae after sever and moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI). It was suggested that ellagic acid (EA), an innate phenol product, display neuroprotective properties against oxidative and inflammatory damages after brain injury. The object of the current study was therapeutic properties of EA...

UNLABELLED The blood-brain barrier (BBB) limits entry of blood-derived products, pathogens, and cells into the brain that is essential for normal neuronal functioning and information processing. Post-mortem tissue analysis indicates BBB damage in Alzheimer's disease (AD). The timing of BBB breakdown remains, however, elusive. Using an advanced dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI protocol with high sp...
متن کاملIn Silico Design and Verification of LAMP-BDNF Chimeric Protein for Presentation of BDNF on the Surface of Exosomes for Drug Delivery Through Blood-Brain Barrier
Background and purpose: The mature form of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) binds to BDNF/NT-3 growth factors receptor (Trk-B). This binding leads to activation of Ras–MAPK pathway which is integrated with cell growth and proliferation. The BDNF deficiency is correlated with various diseases and affects aging and miscellaneous. In the present study we aimed to design a chimeric LAMP-BDN...
