Dynamic Protein Turnover Drives Blood-Brain Barrier Specialization
Key Takeaways
- IBEC-led study reveals that blood-brain barrier specialization is driven by dynamic protein turnover (ETOR) rather than just protein presence.
- Nearly 1,000 membrane proteins were tracked in rat endothelial cells using advanced proteomics.
- Inflammatory conditions disrupt the ETOR profile, potentially compromising BBB integrity.
- Findings may lead to new therapeutic strategies for neurovascular health.
