Measurement of Transendothelial Electrical Resistance in Blood-Brain Barrier Endothelial Cells
The integrity of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), the protective barrier of the brain, is key to maintaining normal microvascular permeability and... -
Determination of Blood-Brain Barrier Hyperpermeability Using Intravital Microscopy
The blood vessels that vascularize the central nervous system (CNS) exhibit unique properties, termed the blood-brain barrier (BBB). The BBB allows... -
Physiology, Pharmacology and Pathology of the Blood-Brain Barrier
This book presents a comprehensive collection of current knowledge and leading research about the blood-brain barrier. The chapters are organized in...

Transporter Systems and Metabolism at the Blood–Brain Barrier and Blood–CSF Barrier
Neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Parkinson’s disease (PD), and Huntington’s disease (HD), are a leading cause of... -
Blood-Brain Barrier
While Edwin Goldmann is recognized as the first to provide substantial evidence of a blood-brain barrier (BBB) in 1909 and 1913, the actual term was... -

Evaluation of Barrier Integrity Using a Two-Layered Microfluidic Device Mimicking the Blood-Brain Barrier
The blood-brain barrier (BBB) plays an essential role in maintaining the homeostasis of the brain microenvironment by controlling the influx and... -
Breaking barriers: exploring mechanisms behind opening the blood–brain barrier
The blood–brain barrier (BBB) is a selectively permeable membrane that separates the bloodstream from the brain. While useful for protecting neural...

Measurement of Blood-Brain Barrier Hyperpermeability Using Evans Blue Extravasation Assay
Blood-brain barrier (BBB) dysfunction and hyperpermeability have been implicated in a myriad of brain pathologies. The Evans Blue assay is one of the... -
Andrographolide Improves ApoE4-Mediated Blood–Brain Barrier Injury by Alleviating Inflammation
The pathological and physiological studies of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) have been in-depth, and apolipoprotein E4 (ApoE4) has been proven to be highly...
