A claudin5-binding peptide enhances the permeability of the blood-brain barrier in vitro A claudin5 binding peptide enhances transport across the blood-brain barrier by transiently permeabilizing tight junctions.

The blood-brain barrier can prevent therapeutic drugs from reaching the brain.

Researchers in #ScienceAdvances have identified a peptide that increases the barrierโ€™s permeability, showing potential for more effective drug delivery to treat brain diseases. scim.ag/4jhnWf6
