Abstract:
A new photoluminescent polypyridylruthenium(II) stain for extracellular vesicles (EVs) released from lipopolysaccharide-stimulated THP-1 monocytes enabled important new insights into how the bacteria-induced immune system affects the blood-brain barrier (BBB). These included previously unknown aspects of EV interactions with BBB microvascular endothelial cells and the extracellular matrix relevant to human brain diseases.
