The blood-brain barrier. II. Pathology: brain tumors, brain edema, hypertension, epilepsy

Neurologia i neurochirurgia polska

Abstract

In the first part of the publication the authors presented the blood-brain (BBB) under physiological conditions. The second part includes the current opinions concerning BBB during various disorders of the central nervous system (CNS) and hypertension. The imbalance of BBB is often not only a consequence of a pathologic status, but can be also cause of it. On the other hand BBB influences the therapy of many illnesses by restricting the penetration of drugs to the CNS.

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.
