The blood–brain barrier is playing a critical role in controlling the influx and efflux of
biological substances essential for the brain's metabolic activity as well as neuronal function …

Punctuated episodes of spreading depolarizations erupt in the brain, encumbering tissue
structure and function, and raising fascinating unanswered questions concerning their …

BACKGROUND S100β protein is expressed constitutively by brain astrocytes. Elevated
S100β levels in cerebrospinal fluid and serum reported after head trauma, subarachnoid …

Cytogenesis in adult peripheral organs, and in all organs during development, occurs
nearby basal laminae (BL) overlying connective tissue. Paradoxically, cytogenesis in the …

Two brain-specific proteins, S-100β and neuron-specific enolase (NSE), are released
systemically after cerebral lesions, but S-100β levels sometimes rise in the absence of …

Background Pain is generally concomitant with an inflammatory reaction at the site where
the nociceptive fibers are activated. Rodent studies suggest that a sterile meningeal …

Neurological diseases are often associated with cerebrovascular dysfunction and changes
in blood–brain barrier (BBB) function. This is important for two seemingly conflicting reasons …

Purpose: Occurrence of brain damage is frequently associated with abnormal blood-brain
barrier (BBB) function. Two brain-specific proteins, S100β and neuron-specific enolase …

The novel extracellular matrix structures called fractones are found in the lateral ventricle
walls, the principal adult brain stem cell niche. By electron microscopy, fractones were …

Meninges are a three tissue membrane primarily known as coverings of the brain. More in
depth studies on meningeal function and ultrastructure have recently changed the view of …
