Abstract
Recent discussions highlighted advances in treating malignant brain tumors, emphasizing the challenges posed by the blood-brain barrier.
- The blood-brain barrier is a critical barrier in delivering treatments for brain tumors and CNS diseases.
- Research topics included cell biology, transport mechanisms, and neuroimaging related to the blood-brain barrier.
- The neurovascular unit, which includes endothelial cells, pericytes, glia, and neurons, plays a role in transport across the blood-brain barrier.
- Delivery methods discussed included immunotherapy and gene therapy for conditions like glioma and CNS lymphoma.
