The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is essential for central nervous system homeostasis, but most current in vitro models lack structural and functional fidelity. We developed a physiologically relevant human neurovascular unit microfluidic chip (hNVU-on-a-chip) incorporating brain microvascular endoth...
Introduction: The gut microbiota and its metabolites are implicated in atherosclerosis, but the specific effector molecules and their pathophysiological significance remain unclear.
Objectives: This study aimed to identify key atheroprotective microbial metabolites and to elucidate the mech...
