Abstract excerpt
Wnt/β-catenin signaling is important for blood-brain barrier (BBB) development and is implicated in BBB breakdown under various pathophysiological conditions. In the present study, a comprehensive characterization of the relevant genes, transport and permeability processes influenced by both the autocrine and external activation of Wnt signaling in human brain endothelial cells was examined using hCMEC/D3 culture...
