This project (No. 93-04) supported by the 3R Research Foundation is focused on characterisation and validation of an innovative 3-dimensional (3D) model to investigate development of the blood brain barrier (BBB)[*] and its response to stress and drug exposure. Given the large number of diseases characterised by BBB breakdown, the present model will have wide applications in life sciences as well as pharmaceutical industries
