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
## Abstract The breakdown of the blood–brain barrier (BBB) has been considered to be a key step in the disease process of a number of neurological disorders such as cerebral ischemia and Alzheimer's disease. Many in vitro BBB models derived from animal tissues have been established to elucidate the
The binding of 'L51-insulin to primary cultures of bovine brain microvessel endothlial cells was examined. Insulin binding was both time and temperature dependent and inhibited by excess unlabeled insulin. Furthermore, the specific binding of insulin was polarized to the apical side of the cell mono
