Regulation of blood-brain barrier integrity by Dmp1 -expressing astrocytes through mitochondrial transfer
28 Jun 2024
Abstract excerpt
The blood-brain barrier (BBB) acts as the crucial physical filtration structure in the central nervous system. Here, we investigate the role of a specific subset of astrocytes in the regulation of BBB integrity. We showed that Dmp1- expressing astrocytes transfer mitochondria to endothelial cells via their endfeet for maintaining BBB integrity. Deletion of the Mitofusin 2 ( Mfn2 ) gene in Dmp1 -expressing...
