Abstract excerpt
The blood-brain barrier (BBB), formed by brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMECs), restricts vascular permeability through tight junctions, selective transporters, and low transcytosis. BBB dysfunction contributes to cerebrovascular and neurodegenerative disease, yet current human in vitro models recapitulate only a subset of BMEC features. Here, we describe a strategy generate BMECs (hiBMECs) from human...
