Neurovascular unit (NVU) inflammation via activation of glial cells and neuronal damage plays a critical role in neurodegenerative diseases. Though the exact mechanism disease pathogenesis is not understood, certain biomarkers provide valuable insight into pathogenesis, severity, progression therapeutic efficacy. These markers can be used to assess pathophysiological status brain including neurons, astrocytes, microglia, oligodendrocytes, specialized microvascular endothelial cells, pericytes, NVU, blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption. Damage or derangements tight junction (TJ), adherens (AdJ), gap (GJ) components BBB lead increased permeability neuroinflammation various disorders disorders. Thus, neuroinflammatory evaluated blood, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), tissues determine neurological progression, responsiveness. Chronic common age-related Alzheimer's (AD), Parkinson's (PD), dementia. Neurotrauma/traumatic injury (TBI) also leads acute chronic responses. The expression some may altered many years even decades before onset In this review, we discuss neuroinflammation, neurodegeneration associated with disorders, especially those neurovascular pathologies.

Brain tumors represent the leading cause of disease-related mortality and morbidity in children, with effective treatments urgently required. One factor limiting effectiveness systemic therapy is blood-brain-barrier (BBB), which limits brain penetration many anticancer drugs. BBB integrity often compromised tumors, referred to as blood-brain-tumor-barrier (BBTB), impact a BBTB on therapeutic sensitivity has been clearly shown for few selected agents. However, heterogeneity barrier alteration observed within single tumor across distinct pediatric types represents an additional challenge. Herein, we discuss what known regarding tumor-associated vasculature tumors. We innovative complementary preclinical model systems that will facilitate real-time functional analyses all types. believe broader use these models enable us develop greater understanding processes underlying formation ultimately more efficacious treatment options.
