Protection of cultured brain endothelial cells from cytokine-induced damage by α-melanocyte stimulating hormone

Protection of cultured brain endothelial cells from cytokine-induced damage by α-melanocyte stimulating hormone

The blood–brain barrier (BBB), an interface between the systemic circulation and the nervous system, can be a target of cytokines in inflammatory conditions. Pro-inflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) induce damage in brain endothelial cells and BBB dysfunc...
