Development of new chemical entities to countermeasure PX-induced BBB damage

Description:

The goal of this study is to find and evaluate new chemical entities (NCE) to act as potential countermeasures against damage induced to brain endothelial cells and/or to BBB function by paraoxon (PX), and, by extension, other organophosphates (OPs) agents.
