The role of the blood–brain barrier in the development and treatment of migraine and other pain disorders [PDF]

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2014
The function of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) related to chronic pain has been explored for its classical role in regulating the transcellular and paracellular transport, thus controlling the flow of drugs that act at the central nervous system, such as opioid analgesics (e.g., morphine) and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

In vitro Models of the Human Blood–Brain Barrier and the Impact of Efflux Transporters on Neurological Disorders: The Work of Cioni et al. (2012) [PDF]

Frontiers in Psychiatry, 2014
The blood–brain barrier (BBB) plays a fundamental role in the integrity of brain homeostasis. Acute disruption and also even slight shifting of equilibrium of structural elements or transport processes might lead to substantial consequences, resulting in neurological disorders (1).

Glutamate-mediated blood-brain barrier opening. implications for neuroprotection and drug delivery [PDF]

, 2016
The blood-brain barrier is a highly selective anatomical and functional interface allowing a unique environment for neuro-glia networks. Blood-brain barrier dysfunction is common in most brain disorders and is associated with disease course and delayed ...

Human ES-derived MSCs correct TNF-α-mediated alterations in a blood–brain barrier model

Fluids and Barriers of the CNS, 2019
Background Immune cell trafficking into the CNS is considered to contribute to pathogenesis in MS and its animal model, EAE. Disruption of the blood–brain barrier (BBB) is a hallmark of these pathologies and a potential target of therapeutics.

Mechanisms of modulation of brain microvascular endothelial cells function by thrombin. [PDF]

, 2017
Brain microvascular endothelial cells are a critical component of the blood-brain barrier. They form a tight monolayer which is essential for maintaining the brain homeostasis.

Spatiotemporal resolution of spinal meningeal and parenchymal inflammation during experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis

Neurobiology of Disease, 2017
Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) induced by active immunization of C57BL/6 mice with peptide from myelin oligodendrocyte protein (MOG35–55), is a neuroinflammatory, demyelinating disease widely recognized as an animal model of multiple ...

Structure and function of the blood–brain barrier

Neurobiology of Disease, 2010
Neural signalling within the central nervous system (CNS) requires a highly controlled microenvironment. Cells at three key interfaces form barriers between the blood and the CNS: the blood–brain barrier (BBB), blood–CSF barrier and the arachnoid barrier.

Research progress on perioperative blood-brain barrier damage and its potential mechanism

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023
The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is an important barrier separating the central nervous system from the periphery. The composition includes endothelial cells, pericytes, astrocytes, synapses and tight junction proteins.

Extracellular vesicles: mediators and biomarkers of pathology along CNS barriers

Fluids and Barriers of the CNS, 2018
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are heterogeneous, nano-sized vesicles that are shed into the blood and other body fluids, which disperse a variety of bioactive molecules (e.g., protein, mRNA, miRNA, DNA and lipids) to cellular targets over long and short ...
