Abstract

The report contains some results of a parallel determination of bilirubin in the blood serum and CSF in 321 patients with different diseases. The bilirubin in the blood serum was studied according to Jendrassik and Cleghorn (1936), in the CSF according to Jendrassik and the spectrophotometrically according to Fleming's and Woolf's (1965) formula. It was demonstrated that bilirubin appears in the CSF only in jaundice of different etiology, cerebral hemorrhages and in blocking the liquor paths. In the absence of such syndromes the haematoencephalic barrier is impassable for bilirubin.

Blood Brain Barrier Regulation in Health & Disease

The blood brain barrier is essential in regulating the movement of molecules and substances in and out of the brain. Disruption to the blood brain barrier and changes in permeability allow pathogens and inflammatory molecules to cross the barrier and may play a part in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders. Here is the latest research in this field.

Blood Brain Barrier Chips

The blood brain barrier (BBB) is comprised of endothelial cells that regulate the influx and outflux of plasma concentrations. Lab-on-a-chip devices allow scientists to model diseases and mechanisms such as the passage of therapeutic antibodies across the BBB. Discover the latest research on BBB chips here.

Blood Brain Barrier

The blood brain barrier is a border that separates blood from cerebrospinal fluid. Discover the latest search on this highly selective semipermeable membrane here.
