Authority is a hilarious office comedy about a rowdy bunch of government workers who like practical jokes and sneak up on each other in storage closets. Themes of teamwork, comradery, and the permeability of the walls between people abound.

The blood-brain barrier can prevent therapeutic drugs from reaching the brain.
Researchers in #ScienceAdvances have identified a peptide that increases the barrier’s permeability, showing potential for more effective drug delivery to treat brain diseases. scim.ag/4jhnWf6

Tal found that neurocognitive dysfunction and gut barrier dysfunction tracked.
(Note: this does not imply causation-- I could easily see how gut permeability/gut barrier integrity might be related to integrity of the blood-brain barrier, for example. But it does show they're related.)
