Blood-brain-barrier spheroids as an in vitro screening platform for brain-penetrating agents

Culture-based blood-brain barrier (BBB) models are crucial tools to enable rapid screening of brain-penetrating drugs. However, reproducibility of in vitro barrier properties and permeability remain as major challenges. Here, we report that self-Assembling multicellular BBB spheroids display reprodu...
