Human Blood-Brain Barrier Model
Human Blood-Brain Barrier Model from Ace Therapeutics is developed by culturing brain endothelial cells with pericytes and astrocytes layered in an insert. The model mimics transport properties of the Blood Brain Barrier (BBB) due to the formation of tight junctions, higher expression of specific carriers, or great cell viability.
Compared with the monoculture model, our 3D in vivo model of the BBB can truly mimic the BBB by enhancing the polarization of endothelial cells, facilitating the formation of tight junctions, promoting essential endothelial cell-to-cell contact for barrier development, and preventing the dilution of secreted neurotrophic factors.
