New review article published in Molecular and Cellular Neuroscience

The review article “Models of the blood-brain barrier using iPSC-derived cells” was published in Molecular and Cellular Neuroscience today. The article discusses the capability for the use of human iPSC- derived brain cells for modelling the blood-brain barrier (BBB) over the conventionally used immortalized brain endothelial cell lines and primary brain endothelial cells of human and animal origin. The review highlights the essential functions of the BBB and the ongoing efforts in the creation of iPSC-derived BBB models along with the key requirements and challenges faced currently.
