## Abstract Glialโderived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) is a neurotrophin that could be developed as a neurotherapeutic for Parkinson's disease, stroke, and motor neuron disease. However, GDNF does not cross the bloodโbrain barrier (BBB). Human GDNF was reโengineered by fusion of the mature GDNF prote
## Abstract A murine monoclonal antibody (MAb) to the human insulin receptor (HIR) has been engineered for use as a brain drug delivery system for transport across the human bloodโbrain barrier (BBB). The HIRMAb was humanized by complementarity determining region (CDR) grafting on the framework reg
The influence of plasma zinc concentration on the rate of zinc transport into the brain was examined using an in vitro model of the blood-brain barrier. The model was constructed by culturing porcine brain capillary endothelial cells on porous membrane filters suspended between two chambers of fluid
In this study, we investigated the mechanism of the blood -brain barrier (BBB) transport of bunitrolol (BTL), as a model of i-blocker, in vivo and in vitro. In order to define the contribution of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) to the active efflux of BTL from brain to blood, we examined the in vivo brain dis
