Neuroblastoma (NB) is a pediatric malignancy that predominantly affects young children and can be associated with neurological complications even in the absence of direct central nervous system (CNS) invasion. The CNS is protected by specialized endothelial barriers whose integrity depends on tightly regulated intercellular junctions and extracellular matrix homeostasis. Here, we investigated whether extracellular vesicles (EVs) released by NB cells contribute to CNS endothelial barrier dysfunction and examined the underlying molecular mechanisms.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
