Innovation:Blood Brain Barrier Unlocked to cure diseases
Researchers at Cornell’s College of Veterinary Medicine may have solved a problem that has long vexed neurologists, including those involved in treating and studying HIV/AIDS-related neurological problems. According to a new report published in the September 14 issue of The Journal of Neuroscience, the Cornell team has found a way to open and close the blood-brain barrier, which may allow for more effective treatment of a variety of brain-centered diseases and complications, such as those associated with HIV/AIDS.
