Caption Vitamin D must be transferred from the maternal blood across the layers of the human placental barrier to the foetus, as shown in this electron microscopy image. The maternal blood fills ...

This important study examines the role of pericytes in patterning the zebrafish blood-brain barrier (BBB) and controlling its permeability. Using pdgfrb mutant zebrafish models lacking brain pericytes ...

According to a new study from the University of New Mexico Health Sciences, the brain contains higher concentrations of plastic than the liver or kidneys. The microplastics in the brain are present at ...

Scientists found microplastics in all 52 examined human brains. Newer brain samples had more plastic than older ones.

The team also used transmission electron microscopy to visually examine the same ... These are small enough to cross the blood-brain barrier, although Campen says it is unclear how the particles are ...

Dr. Cater said that until now, little was known about how dietary choline travels past the layer of specialized cells that separates the blood from the brain. "This blood-brain barrier prevents ...
