The blood-brain barrier (BBB) serves as a highly intricate and dynamic interface connecting the brain bloodstream, playing vital role in maintaining homeostasis. BBB dysfunction has been associated with multiple neurodegenerative diseases, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS); however, of neurodegeneration is understudied. We developed an ALS patient-derived model by using cells derived from 5 patient donors carrying C9ORF72 mutations. Brain microvascular endothelial-like (BMEC-like...
