SynBBB™ Blood Brain Barrier (BBB) on-a-Chip recreates an in vivo like BBB with brain endothelial cells, astrocytes and pericytes with physiological flow modeling blood flow and shear stress. SynBBB can be used to detect permeability of compounds from small molecules to biologics. Measure antibody or viral transport across the BBB using receptor mediated transcytosis assays. Measure drug or inflammation induced BBB injury and test drugs that repair a leaky BBB. Model neuroinflammation and screen anti-inflammatory therapeutics.
