A Method for the Isolation of Neurovascular Units from Rat Brain

Source: Brzica, H., et al,. A simple and reproducible method to prepare membrane samples from freshly isolated rat brain microvessels. J. Vis. Exp. (2018). This video demonstrates the process of isolating brain microvessels from euthanized rats. It includes the dissection of the brain, cleaning of the tissue, and mechanical digestion, followed by repeated centrifugation to isolate the pure fraction of microvessels.
