Complexity and developmental changes in the expression pattern of claudins at the blood–CSF barrier
10 Aug 2012
Abstract excerpt
The choroid plexus epithelium controls the movement of solutes between the blood and the cerebrospinal fluid. It has been considered as a functionally more immature interface during brain development than in adult. The anatomical basis of this barrier is the interepithelial choroidal junction whose tightness has been attributed to the presence of claudins. We used quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction,...
