A University of Minnesota Medical School-led research team has discovered that a cancer signaling pathway has previously ...

Researchers have uncovered a surprising connection between a cancer-related signaling pathway and the blood-brain and blood-retina barriers.

The researchers found that a protein called hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) builds up in retinal cells during episodes of low ...

Researchers have discovered the virus that causes COVID-19 can breach the protective blood-retinal-barrier with potential long-term consequences in the eye.

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 ...

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.

Passage from circulation to targeted tissue through tight epithelial junctions of the blood–ocular barrier 66,67: Incorporation of PEG or ceramide–PEG conjugates into the carrier, ...

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 ...

The blood-retinal barrier designed to protect our vision from infection can be breached by SARS-CoV-2, with potential long-term consequences in the eye.

Sometimes, a blood vessel bursts in the eye when blood pressure suddenly increases. This can happen when someone coughs, vomits, or takes part in strenuous exercise, such as lifting heavy weights.
