A perfused human blood–brain barrier on-a-chip for high-throughput assessment of barrier function and antibody transport

Abstract Background Receptor-mediated transcytosis is one of the major routes for drug delivery of large molecules into the brain. The aim of this study was to develop a novel model of the human blood–brain barrier (BBB) in a high-throughput microfluidic device. This model can be used to assess pass...
