Development of the blood-brain barrier. [PDF]
ABSTRACT The blood–brain barrier (BBB) is a term used to describe the specialized properties of vasculature in the central nervous system (CNS) that regulate the exchange of ions, molecules and cells, thereby maintaining CNS homeostasis.

Appearance of claudin-5+ leukocyte subtypes in the blood and CNS during progression of EAE
Background Tight junctions (TJs) are membrane specializations characteristic of barrier-forming membranes, which function to seal the aqueous pathway between endothelial cells or epithelial cells and, thereby, obstruct intercellular solute and cellular ...

Blood vessels are critical to deliver oxygen and nutrients to all of the tissues and organs throughout the body. The blood vessels that vascularize the central nervous system (CNS) possess unique properties, termed the blood-brain barrier, which allow these vessels to tightly regulate the movement of ions, molecules, and cells between the blood and the

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