Abstract:
In vitro blood-brain barrier models play a pivotal role in neuroscience research to study the intricate structure and function of the blood-brain barrier, facilitating drug development, enhancing disease understanding, and advancing treatment strategies for neurological disorders. Here, we present a triple contact coculture model with endothelial cells, astrocytes, and pericytes and offer a physiologically relevant BBB.
