Modulation of fenestrated vasculature in the median eminence and area postrema in response to neurotoxin exposure and its impairment in aging

2 months 2 weeks ago
Effective communication between the brain and peripheral tissues is crucial for homeostasis and health, and its impairment is a defining feature of aging. Circumventricular organs, characterized by the presence of fenestrated capillaries and absence of a blood-brain barrier (BBB), play a crucial role in controlling substance exchange between the brain and the blood.
