Acceleration of blood-brain barrier formation after transplantation of enteric glia into spinal cords of rats
Abstract
Enteric glia share morphological, biochemical, and functional properties with astrocytes. Thus, like astrocytes, transplantation of enteric glia into the central nervous system (CNS) might facilitate the development of the characteristics of the blood brain barrier (BBB) in endothelial cells. This study explored this possibility by examining barrier formation after implantation into the spinal cord of rats. Phaseolus vulgaris leucoagglutin …
