This Monday, the 2nd NAD Brain Vasculature and Barriers Spring Meeting 2026 took place at Aarhus University, featuring inspiring keynote lectures from Matt Campbell and Leif Østergaard.
The meeting also included three exciting scientific sessions and a series of Poster Flash Talks, covering topics such as:
• Neuroinflammation and glial–endothelial communication in neurodegeneration
• Primary cilia and centriole organization across the brain microvasculature
• Neurotransmitter signaling modulation in disease models
• Non‑classical cortical neuron contributions to brain hemodynamics
• Cerebrovascular protection and catecholaminergic modulation with SGLT2 inhibition
• Astrocyte‑driven neurovascular coupling revealed by fast 3D imaging
• Impaired cerebral autoregulation after ischemic stroke
• Cerebral vasospasm and capillary failure following cardiac arrest
• Poster Flash Talks showcasing ongoing vascular and barrier research
A big thank you to all presenters and participants for contributing to a day filled with great science, discussions, and new perspectives on brain vasculature and barrier biology.
