The legacy of William M. Pardridge (1947-2024) on the science and fields concerned with the physiology of the blood-brain barrier and the transport of drugs to the brain.
This article highlights the scientific achievements and professional career of William M. Pardridge, who passed away on 18th of June 2024. He was born in 1947 in Bethesda, Maryland, USA. William, known affectionately as Bill, was one of the most influential researchers in the blood-brain barrier (BBB) field. Bill's research contributions to the field spun over 6 decades at the University of California, Los Angeles, and it was focused on the molecular physiology of the BBB, including the carrier-mediated transport of nutrients and small molecule drugs, the receptor-mediated transport of peptides and molecular Trojan horses, gene therapy of the brain with Trojan horse liposomes, and BBB genomics and proteomics. He founded ArmaGen Inc. in 2004, a biotech company that provided the basis for the treatment of CNS disorders with the molecular Trojan horse technology. This technology continues to be widely used in academia and in the biotech industry. He has been a cherished friend and mentor to many within the BBB community.
期刊介绍：
"Fluids and Barriers of the CNS" is a scholarly open access journal that specializes in the intricate world of the central nervous system's fluids and barriers, which are pivotal for the health and well-being of the human body. This journal is a peer-reviewed platform that welcomes research manuscripts exploring the full spectrum of CNS fluids and barriers, with a particular focus on their roles in both health and disease.
At the heart of this journal's interest is the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), a vital fluid that circulates within the brain and spinal cord, playing a multifaceted role in the normal functioning of the brain and in various neurological conditions. The journal delves into the composition, circulation, and absorption of CSF, as well as its relationship with the parenchymal interstitial fluid and the neurovascular unit at the blood-brain barrier (BBB).
