A Trojan horse could help get drugs past our brain's tough border patrol

(University of Copenhagen - The Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences) The blood-brain barrier protects the brain and is notoriously hard to get past for drug delivery, making it difficult to treat disorders in the central nervous system. In a mice study, a team of researchers from the University of Copenhagen used a novel approach to study the barrier and in detail characterized a Trojan horse technique to help to solve the challenge.
