Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is an important physical and metabolic barrier in the body that separates the systemic circulation from the central nervous system. It is composed of brain microvascular endothelial cells, astrocytes, and pericytes, that together with neurons and microglial cells maintain the integrity of the BBB. The BBB is disturbed in many neurological diseases and presents an important target for research.

In this seminar, the students will present cutting-edge research papers on the BBB and critically discuss research findings.

The students will be able to:
• understand the key concepts of the BBB
• identify key points from journal articles
• critically appraise journal articles
• interpret data in figures and tables
• summarize journal articles in their own words
• present scientific literature
• formulate ideas for future research
• formulate discussion questions
• participate in academic discourse regarding BBB research
