Happy to share our new preprint on BBB mechanobiology on bioRxiv:
www.biorxiv.org/cgi/content/...

We describe an exciting new link between tight junctions and cell-matrix adhesions during BBB maturation and in epileptic BBB dysfunction.
Endothelial tight junctions and cell-matrix adhesions reciprocally control blood-brain barrier integrity
Brain endothelial cells (ECs) rely on mechanical cues to provide a physical barrier that protects the brain. Yet how ECs integrate forces to establish and maintain the blood-brain barrier (BBB) remain...

New paper led by Avril Reddy in @mattcampbelltcd.bsky.social lab showing IPS derived human RPE cells expressing aflibercept and/or soluble CD59 can attenuate lesions in mouse model of age-related macular degeneration. Cool project to help out with. www.cell.com/molecular-th...
Enhanced retinal pigment epithelial cells as a delivery vehicle for retinal disease
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is one of the leading causes of central retinal blindness. Here, Campbell and colleagues show that transplanted retinal pigment epithelial cells can be engineere...
