The role of mutations associated with familial neurodegenerative disorders on blood–brain barrier function in an iPSC model

Abstract Background Blood–brain barrier dysfunction is associated with many late-stage neurodegenerative diseases. An emerging question is whether the mutations associated with neurodegenerative diseases can independently lead to blood–brain barrier (BBB) dysfunction. Studies from patient-derived in...
