Researchers use ingenious strategies for breaking through the blood-brain barrier.

When a research question can’t be answered using the tools available, bioengineer Kiana Aran makes new tools. Recently, she developed a new type of brain-on-a-chip to answer questions about the blood brain barrier.

Echinoderms, with their close evolutionary similarity to humans, provide insight into fundamental stem cell biology and neural regeneration that will inform human health.

Jessica Whited studies how super-regenerative axolotls regrow their limbs after injury, hoping to one day translate her findings to cures for scarring and neurodegeneration.

Scientists leverage the natural ability of antibodies to cross the blood-brain barrier and target proteins implicated in neurodegenerative disease.
