A blood-brain barrier on a chip to study drugs against Alzheimer’s
A study led by the Institute of Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) describes the development of an organ-on-a-chip that mimics the human blood-brain barrier. With this system, researchers can study the barrier permeability to different drugs and screen the most effective ones, avoiding animal tests. The device could also incorporate cells from patients to make a personalized study of the disease.
Researchers developed a chip to simulate the blood-brain barrier in the brain
A study led by IBEC researchers has made it possible to reproduce the blood-brain barrier using the organ-on-a-chip (OoC) platform with the ultimate goal of being able to study the … Read more
