Ultrastructural features of the blood-brain barrier in biopsy tissue from Alzheimer's disease patients.

abstract：:An unresolved issue in the study of demyelinating disease is whether blood-brain barrier damage is dependent upon the migration of inflammatory cells into the central nervous system (CNS). In a study of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) in rabbits, a freeze-dried, paraffin-embedded tissue technique was e...

abstract：:Axons of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) are reduced in caliber in response to the experimental diabetic state. The cause of this reduced axonal size is disputed. Various theories include (a) axonal dwindling, (b) inhibition of growth, and (c) shrinkage due to serum hyperosmolarity. This study was designed to dire...
