| New Mechanism In Brain's Barrier Tissue Mapped By Scientists Researchers at the University of Copenhagen have documented a previously unknown biological mechanism in the brain's most important line of defence: the blood-brain barrier. Scientists now know that the barrier helps maintain a delicate balance of glutamate, a vital signal compound in the brain. | 10 Mar 2012 |
| Blood / Hematology News | |
| Seeking Out The 'Achilles' Heel' Of Clot-Buster Plasmin Everyone is familiar with the pain of skinned knees. However, the complex pathway of proteins that works behind the scenes after the bleeding has stopped is not as well known. Central to this process is the production of plasmin, a powerful blood enzyme that disposes of blood clots. | 10 Mar 2012 |
