Abstract

Several peptides are produced by central nervous system neurons, many of these are involved in the control of body fluid homeostasis. The presence of neuropeptides in the median eminence and circumventricular organs, in the neurosecretory hypothalamic cell groups and in the baroreceptor centres are briefly summarized.

Blood Brain Barrier Chips

The blood brain barrier (BBB) is comprised of endothelial cells that regulate the influx and outflux of plasma concentrations. Lab-on-a-chip devices allow scientists to model diseases and mechanisms such as the passage of therapeutic antibodies across the BBB. Discover the latest research on BBB chips here.
