Drug delivery to the brain is made difficult by the blood-brain barrier (BBB) which is selectively permeable to organic drug compounds. Several membrane solute and nutrient transporters are expressed in the BBB vasculature, which may be utilized as…
INTRODUCTION: The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a selectively permeable micro-vascular unit which prevents many central nervous system (CNS)-targeted compounds from reaching the brain. A significant problem in CNS drug development is the ability to…
The high affinity neuronal choline transporter (CHT1) is responsible for the uptake of choline into the pre-synaptic terminal of cholinergic neurons. Considering our past experience with modeling the blood-brain barrier choline transporter (BBBCHT)…
