RNA-DNA complexes that were modified with cholesterol made it into the brains of rats and mice, where they knocked down target genes.

Researchers turned white blood cells called neutrophils into drug-smuggling “neutrobots,” which penetrated the blood-brain barrier to treat brain cancer in mice.

Authors of a new review urge researchers to consider how the chromosomal sex of a cell affects experiments in research on neurodegeneration.

Conversations between the immune and central nervous systems are proving to be essential for the healthy social behavior, learning, and memory.

Several routes exist for immune cells to communicate with neurons in the central nervous system, though T cells rarely come in direct contact with neural tissue.

When mice that had suffered a stroke were given blood from a healthy donor, they experienced less tissue and neurological damage.

A Phase 1 clinical trial shows the noninvasive technique is safe and could aid in the delivery treatments to the brain.

Researchers use a combination of ultrasound waves, genetic engineering, and synthetic drugs to switch specific neurons on and off in mice.

To treat neurological disease, researchers develop techniques to bypass or trick the guardian of the central nervous system.

The blood-brain barrier is a collection of specialized cells and proteins that control the movement of molecules from the blood to the central nervous system.

Scientists designed autonomous nanovesicles capable of following glucose concentration gradients, even through the blood brain barrier in rats.
