The blood-brain barrier. [PDF]
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 ...

The blood –brain barrier (BBB) is a highly regulated interface that separates the peripheral circulation and central nervous system (CNS). It functions primarily as a selective diffusion barrier at the level of the cerebral microvascular endothelium. The BBB is often defined structurally as specialized endothelial cells lining the intraluminal portion ...

Blood-brain barrier transport kinetics of NOTA-modified proteins : the somatropin case [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Chemical modifications such as PEG, polyamine and radiolabeling on proteins can alter their pharmacokinetic behaviour and their blood-brain barrier (BBB) transport characteristics. NOTA, i.e. 1,4,7-triazacyclononane-1,4,7-triacetic acid, is a

Neuroinflammation, Stroke, Blood-Brain Barrier Dysfunction, and Imaging Modalities.
Maintaining blood-brain barrier (BBB) integrity is crucial for the homeostasis of the central nervous system. Structurally comprising the BBB, brain endothelial cells interact with pericytes, astrocytes, neurons, microglia, and perivascular macrophages ...

Mucopolysaccharidoses and the blood–brain barrier
AbstractMucopolysaccharidoses comprise a set of genetic diseases marked by an enzymatic dysfunction in the degradation of glycosaminoglycans in lysosomes. There are eight clinically distinct types of mucopolysaccharidosis, some with various subtypes, based on which lysosomal enzyme is deficient and symptom severity.
