Reactive astrocytes transduce blood-brain barrier dysfunction through a TNFα-STAT3 signaling axis and secretion of alpha 1-antichymotrypsin
2022-02-22
Abstract excerpt
Astrocytes are critical components of the neurovascular unit that support blood-brain barrier (BBB) function in brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMECs). Transformation of astrocytes to a reactive state in response to injury and disease can be protective or harmful to BBB function, but the underlying mechanisms for these effects remain mostly unclear. Using a human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived...
