Over time, we are learning more and more about the COVID-19 virus. Recent research (read more to explore) has been showing that SARS-CoV-2 can pass through the Blood-Brain Barrier to attack Neurons and Endothelial Cells in the brain. The virus is using the ACE2 receptor as the gateway to enter various cell types, including brain cells.
Our 3D Human Blood-Brain Barrier Model is the perfect way to study this interaction with the COVID-19 virus. By culturing and layering in an insert brain endothelial cells, pericytes, and astrocytes, this model truly mimics the transport properties of the Blood-Brain Barrier.
