The FUS technique temporarily opens the
blood-brain barrier in a specific part of the brain to allow drugs to reach just that part.
Israeli scientists at the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev have recently been successful in duplicating a
blood-brain barrier outside the patient's body using stem cells and microfluidic chips, producing a functioning copy of a patient's brain structure and thus advancing personalized medicine.

15, systematically injecting a low dose of a protein called vascular endothelial growth factor temporarily increases the permeability of the
blood-brain barrier, a system that blocks about 98 percent of medicines from entering the brain.
This is known as the
blood-brain barrier. However, as we age, the blood vessels don't fit as tightly together, which may allow amyloid beta and tau to enter the brain.
Ischemic stroke is a leading cause of death and disability, and the ischemic brain remains a difficult to reach anatomical target because of the
blood-brain barrier which limits availability of systemically administered drugs.
