  1. Impact of Peripheral Inflammation on Blood-Brain Barrier Dysfunction and Its Role in Neurodegenerative Diseases

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 45 out of 100. International journal of molecular sciences 2025-03-09 Genetics

    The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is essential for maintaining brain homeostasis by regulating molecular exchange between the systemic circulation and the central nervous system.

  2. APOE ɛ4 dose associates with increased brain iron and β-amyloid via blood-brain barrier dysfunction

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 55 out of 100. Journal of neurology, neurosurgery, and psychiatry 2022-04-28 Brain scans and imaging

    Our results suggest that an increased APOE ɛ4 dose is associated with decreased effective brain-waste clearance, such as iron and β-amyloid, through the BBB.
