Effect of heat stress on blood-brain barrier integrity in iPS cell-derived microvascular endothelial cell models.

The incidence of heatstroke has been increasing. Heatstroke has been shown to affect physiological barrier functions. However, there are few studies of the effect of heat stress on the blood-brain barrier (BBB) function. In this study, we investigated the influence of heat stress on brain microvascu...
