Purinergic signaling: A gatekeeper of blood-brain barrier permeation

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2023
This review outlined evidence that purinergic signaling is involved in the modulation of blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability. The functional and structural integrity of the BBB is critical for maintaining the homeostasis of the brain microenvironment.
