Journal ArticleDOI

The Blood-Brain Barrier in Health and Chronic Neurodegenerative Disorders

TL;DR: These findings support developments of new therapeutic approaches for chronic neurodegenerative disorders directed at the blood-brain barrier and other nonneuronal cells of the neurovascular unit.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neurovascular pathways to neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease and other disorders.

TL;DR: Mechanisms of BBB dysfunction in neurodegenerative disorders, notably Alzheimer's disease, are examined, and therapeutic opportunities relating to these neurovascular deficits are highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Blood–brain barrier breakdown in Alzheimer disease and other neurodegenerative disorders

TL;DR: This Review discusses neuroimaging studies in the living human brain and post-mortem tissue as well as biomarker studies demonstrating BBB breakdown in Alzheimer disease, Parkinson disease, Huntington disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, multiple sclerosis, HIV-1-associated dementia and chronic traumatic encephalopathy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clearance of Alzheimer's amyloid-ss(1-40) peptide from brain by LDL receptor-related protein-1 at the blood-brain barrier.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the BBB removes Ass from the brain largely via age-dependent, LRP-1-mediated transport that is influenced by alpha(2)M and/or apoE, and may be impaired in AD.
