Vitamin-carrying protein pathway shows promise for brain drug delivery

Researchers at the University of Eastern Finland have identified a transporter protein with the potential to open new avenues for improving creatine delivery into the brain and for developing other therapies targeting the central nervous system.

Novel transporter protein discovery opens new pathways for central nervous system therapies

Researchers at the University of Eastern Finland have identified a transporter protein with the potential to open new avenues for improving creatine delivery into the brain and for developing other therapies targeting the central nervous system.

Targeting the Blood-Brain Barrier Using Sodium-Dependent Multivitamin Transporter Protein Systems

Researchers at the University of Eastern Finland have identified a transporter protein with the potential to open new avenues for improving creatine delivery into the brain and for developing other therapies targeting the central nervous system.

New Transporter Bypasses Blood-Brain Barrier to Deliver Creatine

How can drugs bypass the brain's tightest security checkpoint? Researchers at the University of Eastern Finland discovered that hijacking the sodium-dependent multivitamin transporter (SMVT) allows creatine derivatives to cross the blood-brain barrier, offering hope for rare deficiency syndromes.

University of Eastern Finland researchers identify transporter protein - Archyworldys

Researchers at the University of Eastern Finland identified a transporter protein in 2026 that opens new avenues for improving creatine delivery into the brain and developing therapies targeting the central nervous system. Published in ACS Chemical Neuroscience, the study investigated the sodium-dependent multivitamin transporter (SMVT) to target creatine derivatives across the blood-brain barrier, which normally ...
