  2. 1. Human iPSC-based models of theCNS: attaining cellular biofidelitythrough conventional and advancedculture systems

    Author : Dimitrios Voulgaris; Anna Herland; Susanna Narkhilakhi; KTH; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; neural stem cells; astrocytes; iPSC; hiAstrocytes; microphysiological systems; BBB; Bioteknologi; Biotechnology;

    Abstract : Brain development is a highly orchestrated process that entails changes in microenvironmental cues and growth factor gradients, which set the tempo for proper development of the rudimentary structures of the brain and the generation of neurons,astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes. Another intricate feature of the brain is the bloodbrain barrier (BBB). READ MORE

  5. 3. Design, expression, and analysis of antibody-based blood-brain barrier shuttles

    Author : Andrés de la Rosa; Greta Hultqvist; Paul O'Callaghan; Nicole G. Metzendorf; Torben Moos; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Antibody therapeutics; transient gene expression; protein production; blood-brain barri-er BBB ; BBB shuttle; brain delivery; Transferrin receptor TfR ; heparan sulfate; holo-transferrin; Molekylär biovetenskap; Molecular Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Antibody therapeutics, with their strong and highly selective target binding, are now used to treat various diseases. However, to enable their use to treat brain disorders, they must be delivered across the blood-brain barrier (BBB), as without active transport, only around 0.01% of intravenously injected doses reach the brain.

  6. 4. Stereoselective Transport of Drugs Across the Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB) In Vivo and In Vitro : Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Studies of the (S)- and (R)-Enantiomers of Different 5-HT1A Receptor Agonists and Antagonists

    Author : Hongmei Yan; Lennart Paalzow; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neurosciences; pindolol; propranolol; 2- di-n-propylamino tetralin; racemate; enantiomer; drug distribution; brain; rat; blood-brain barrier; Neurovetenskap; Neurology; Neurologi; Psychiatry; psykiatri;

    Abstract : Delivery of drugs to the brain requires passage across the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Both for drugs already on the market and for new drugs under development, it is important to know to what extent a drug enters the CNS. Many drugs used clinically are racemic mixtures, i.e. READ MORE

  7. 5. One-click away from higher contrast : Improvements to peripheral clearance for same-day immunoPET in Alzheimer’s disease

    Author : Eva Schlein; Dag Sehlin; Jordi Llop Roig; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Alzheimer’s disease AD ; bispecific antibody; Amyloid-β Aβ ; Receptor mediated transcytosis RMT ; Neonatal Fc receptor FcRn ; Blood-brain barrier BBB ; Inverse electron demand Diels−Alder reaction IEDDA; pre-targeting; tetrazine; bio-orthogonal; Fluorine-18; clearing agent;

    Abstract : The brain is a challenging target for antibody-based positron emission tomography (immunoPET) to image amyloid-beta (Aβ). Antibodies detect pathology with high sensitivity, but due to their size and biological half-life, they cause a high background radiation, if radiolabelled. READ MORE
