During Michaelmas Term, OxTalks will be moving to a new platform (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
For now, continue using the current page and event submission process (freeze period dates to be advised).
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
This talk will focus on the critical role played by claudin-5 at the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Claudin-5 is the most enriched tight junction component at the BBB and its dysregulation has been implicated in a range of neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders. Here, the focus will be on understanding how and why claudin-5 becomes disrupted at the BBB. The talk will bring in both pre-clinical and clinical research based approaches to understanding regulation of the BBB in health and disease.
