Researchers have discovered the virus that causes COVID-19 can breach the protective blood-retinal-barrier with potential long-term consequences in the eye.
Moreover, the eye fluid is separated from plasma by the blood-ocular barrier, which results in a distinct protein composition within the eye. The study and findings.
The blood-retinal barrier performs the same function for the eye as the blood-brain barrier does for the brain. In Norrie disease, the development of blood vessels of the retina -- the layer of ...
The brain, along with the eye, testes, and placenta, have barriers to protect them from the systemic effects of immune responses. These barriers include. Physical barriers, like the blood-brain or ...
