The Ism between endothelial cilia and endothelial nanotubules is an evolving concept in the genesis of the BBB
(MDPI, 2022)
The blood–brain barrier (BBB) is fundamental in maintaining central nervous system (CNS)
homeostasis by regulating the chemical environment of the underlying brain parenchyma. Brain
endothelial cells (BECs) constitute ...
Oxidative stress and assisted reproduction: A comprehensive review of its pathophysiological role and strategies for optimizing embryo culture environment
(MDPI, 2022)
Oxidative stress (OS) due to an imbalance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) and
antioxidants has been established as an important factor that can negatively affect the outcomes
