Interactions between glial cells and the blood-brain barrier and their role in Alzheimer's disease

Ming Zhao et al.

Summary: Alzheimer's disease is an irreversible neurodegenerative disorder with no satisfying curative therapies currently available. Dysfunction of the blood-brain barrier contributes to the onset and progression of AD, yet the pathogenesis caused by BBB injury remains unclear. Glial cells play a crucial role in maintaining the integrity of BBB and neuronal function.

Exosomes in Ageing and Motor Neurone Disease: Biogenesis, Uptake Mechanisms, Modifications in Disease and Uses in the Development of Biomarkers and Therapeutics

Ekene Anakor et al.

Summary: Intercellular communication between neurons and their surrounding cells occurs through secretion of soluble molecules or release of vesicles like exosomes, which play a role in maintaining brain homeostasis. Exosomes are suspected to spread toxic proteins in neurodegenerative conditions associated with aging. This review focuses on the role of exosomes in aging and specifically in ALS, highlighting their potential use as biomarkers and therapeutics for the disease.

Lisa Kurmann et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates the essential role of pericytes in maintaining EC barrier function and integrity, as well as their modulation of various signaling pathways to reduce inflammatory molecules and cytokines/chemokines associated with BBB disruption. The human PC-EC co-culture model shows promise as a valuable in vitro tool for investigating BBB function and drug transport.

Endothelial-Derived Extracellular Vesicles Induce Cerebrovascular Dysfunction in Inflammation

David Roig-Carles et al.

Summary: It has been discovered that small EVs released by inflamed brain endothelial cells may contribute to blood-brain barrier dysfunction, leading to cerebrovascular disorders. The expression of VCAM1 is associated with T-cell adhesion, while ICAM1 does not affect this process.
