A new neurotoxicity model composed of a neurovascular unit in vitro.

In conclusion, the two models replicated the blood-brain barrier (BBB) more accurately than the control, so it has potential usefulness in further scientific and clinical drug research. Furthermore, NVU model could be used to screen neurotoxicity chemicals due to its NVU properties. PMID: 27453267 [PubMed - in process]
