Brain development is a highly orchestrated process that entails changes in microenvironmental cues and growth factor gradients, which set the tempo for proper development of the rudimentary structures of the brain and the generation of neurons,astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes. Another intricate feature of the brain is the bloodbrain barrier (BBB). The BBB consists of specialized endothelial cells that form asemipermeable barrier between the blood and the brain; hence, the BBB plays animportant part in protecting the brain from blood-borne pathogens. In vitro modeling is inherently limiting, an artificial microenvironment that is usually not in tunewith in vivo conditions. Thus, understanding these cues and growth factor conditions is pivota...
