Efficient neuronal signaling in the central nervous system strictly depends on a well‐
balanced microenvironment around glial cells, synapses, and axons. Unique features of the …

The characteristics and mechanisms enabling the blood-brain barrier (BBB) to maintain the
milieu of the brain have been reviewed in detail elsewhere (Banks and Kastin, 1987; …

Pathways traversed by peripherally administered protein tracers for entry to the mammalian
brain were investigated by light and electron microscopy. Native horseradish peroxidase …

The ultrastructural features that are critical to the efficient functioning of the blood-brain
barrier (b-bb) were quantified in typical barrier vessels, ie, cerebral gray and white matter …

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are associated with neuroinflammatory diseases, and
blood-brain barrier damage is a pathophysiological consequence of central nervous system …

We studied disruption of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) by acute hypertension and a
hyperosmolar solution. The goals were to determine whether 1) disruption of the BBB occurs …

23 Molecular pathogenesis of blood–brain barrier breakdown in acute brain injury …

Previously, activation of vesicular transport in the brain microvasculature was shown to be
one of the mechanisms of focused ultrasound-induced blood-brain barrier (BBB) opening. In …

Blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability can be measured by the ratio of albumin in
cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and blood and by dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCEMRI) …

The blood–brain barrier minimizes the entry of molecules into brain tissue. This restriction
arises by the presence of tight junctions (zonulae occludens) between adjacent endothelial …
