Dexamethasone's impact on LPS-induced inflammation of blood-brain barrier endothelial cells
Jeftha, Tershlin (University of the Western Cape, 2023)The blood-brain barrier (BBB) serves as a protective and regulatory barrier between the blood and the brain. Microvascular endothelial cells provide homeostatic regulation of the central nervous system (CNS). BBB integrity ... -
The effect of methamphetamine on the blood-testis barrier
Zabida, Omer Saleh (University of the Western Cape, 2018)Introduction The blood-testis barrier (BTB) is formed by tight junctions between adjacent Sertoli cells. The barrier formed by these tight junction helps to create a specialized environment for spermatogenesis and provide ... -
The effects of Ethanol and Aspalathus linearis on immortalized mouse brain endothelial cells (bEnd5)
Thomas, Kelly Angelique (University of the Western Cape, 2015)The blood brain barrier (BBB) is a signaling interface between the blood and the central nervous system (CNS), which prohibits the entry of harmful blood-borne substances into the brain micro-environment, thus maintaining ... -

The in vitro effects of pure and street methamphetamine on the proliferation and cell cycle of mouse brain endothelial (bend5) cells
Mafunda, Patrick Siyambulela (2012)The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is an interface between the brain parenchyma and the circulating system. This barrier plays a vital role in protecting the CNS by restricting free paracellular diffusion of molecules from the ... -
Investigating novel aspects of the blood-brain barrier using high resolution electron microscopy
Mentor, Shireen (University of the Western Cape, 2022)The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a restrictive interface located between the blood circulation and the central nervous system (CNS), regulating the homeostatic environment of the neuronal milieu, by controlling the ... -
