Figure 1: The central nervous system (CNS) is protected from mechanical injury by the skull (A) and from chemical noxious agents by the blood-brain barrier (B, C). The latter consists of the endothelial barrier in most parts of the CNS (B) and the tanycytic barrier in the hypothalamus (C). We develop gene vectors transducing endothelial cells and tanycytes to treat genetic and non-genetic diseases of the brain.
