Control of blood capillary networks and holes in blood-brain barrier models by regulating elastic modulus of scaffolds
The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a type of capillary network characterized by a highly selective barrier, which restricts the transport of substances between the blood and nervous system. Numerous in vitro models of the BBB have been developed for drug testing, but a BBB model with controllable capi...
