Abstract
In this article, Oikari and colleagues use patient-derived iPSCs with a familial Alzheimer disease (AD) mutation to study the phenotypical and functional differences of brain endothelial cells (iBECs) in AD. In addition, the authors study the effects of focused ultrasound on the iBEC monolayer to model blood-brain barrier opening and demonstrate key differences between AD and control iBECs.
