Cell culture models have been extensively used for studies of bloodbrain barrier (BBB) function. However, most in vitro models fail to reproduce the peculiar physiological and morphological properties of in situ brain microvascular endothelial cells. A recently developed, tridimensional and dynamic
Vascular endothelial cells (EC) exhibit organ-to-organ heterogeneity in their functions and morphologies. In particular, brain capillary EC have unique characteristics exemplified by the blood-brain barrier (BBB). The formation and the maintenance of BBB have been ascribed to EC responses to inducti
