Physiological Barriers

4.3K
Physiological barriers are semi-permeable cellular structures restricting drug diffusion into intracellular compartments and tissues. There are six types of physiological barriers: blood endothelial, cell membrane, blood-brain, blood-cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), blood-placenta, and blood-testis barriers.
The blood endothelial barrier is the most porous of these. It allows all small ionized, un-ionized, and lipophilic molecules to pass through the endothelial lining into the interstitial space...

Surface Membrane Barriers

1.6K
The skin and mucous membranes serve as the primary line of defense against pathogens by providing both physical and chemical protection. These barriers are essential in preventing the entry and establishment of microbes, thereby maintaining the integrity of the host.
The outer layer of the skin, the epidermis, is a robust barrier comprising layers of closely packed keratinized cells. This dense arrangement prevents microbes from penetrating the body. The periodic shedding of epidermal cells...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Biomedical Research
  • Scientific Communication

Background:

  • Scientific conferences are crucial for knowledge exchange in fields like brain barriers research.
  • The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated a shift to virtual events, leading to the creation of the Brain Barriers Virtual 2020 (BBV2020).
  • This study evaluates the effectiveness and reach of BBV2020 compared to previous in-person meetings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze attendance, global reach, and participant engagement of the BBV2020 virtual seminar series.
  • To compare the virtual format's utility with that of traditional in-person scientific conferences.
  • To assess the value of virtual platforms as a supplement to scientific meetings.

Main Methods:

  • Data were collected from registration and Zoom analytics for BBV2020.
  • Participant surveys were used to gather feedback on the virtual experience.
  • Attendance and engagement metrics were compared with data from two prior in-person conferences (BBB 2018 and CVB 2019).

Main Results:

  • BBV2020 showed a decrease in participation over time, but maintained over 100 live attendees and 200 recording views per seminar.
  • Participants found BBV2020 valuable during the pandemic, with a preference for hybrid formats in the future.
  • The virtual format significantly increased global reach and participation across all career stages (academia, industry, government).

Conclusions:

  • Virtual events like BBV2020 provide accessible scientific engagement for a global audience across all career levels.
  • While limitations exist, virtual platforms are valuable tools for expanding reach and engagement within the brain barriers research community.
  • Hybrid approaches combining virtual and in-person elements can enhance future scientific conferences.
