Blood-Brain Barrier Dysfunction in the Detrimental Brain Function
TLDR
This chapter will focus on the structure and function of the BBB and discuss how BBB breakdown causes detrimental brain function.
The Blood-Brain Barrier/Neurovascular Unit in Health and Disease
TLDR
Understanding how BBB TJ might be affected by various factors holds significant promise for the prevention and treatment of neurological diseases.
Structure and function of the blood–brain barrier
Blood-Brain Barrier Dysfunction in CNS Disorders and Putative Therapeutic Targets: An Overview
TLDR
The fundamental structure and function of the blood-brain barrier is described in both healthy and altered/diseased conditions and the potential therapeutic targets that could be leveraged to restore the integrity of the BBB concomitant to the treatment of these brain disorders are provided.
Stroke Induced Blood-Brain Barrier Disruption
TLDR
This chapter emphasized recently gained information on BBB anatomy and its neuropathogenetic alteration in an ischemic cerebral injury.
Looking at the blood–brain barrier: Molecular anatomy and possible investigation approaches
Blood-Brain Barrier Breakdown and Blood-Brain Communication in Neurological and Psychiatric Diseases
TLDR
Clinical and experimental evidence for the involvement of BBB dysfunction in the pathogenesis of seizures and epilepsy and important unresolved questions of how similar vascular dysfunction can lead to wide range of neurological symptoms and signs are tackled.
Exploring the Blood Brain Barrier: Structure, Function, and Medical Implications
TLDR
The structure and function of the blood brain barrier, including the variety of transport methods incorporated to maintain cerebral homeostasis, are discussed, and the capability of the SI protein on the SARS-CoV-2 virus to cross the bloodbrain barrier, causing encephalitis is detailed.
The Blood–Brain Barrier: An Introduction to Its Structure and Function
The blood-brain barrier (BBB) formed by the brains microvascular system is impermeable for most therapeutically used compounds and overcoming this barrier remains to be one of the big challenges in…
Basic physiology of the blood-brain barrier in health and disease: a brief overview
TLDR
This review aims to highlight the current knowledge on the cellular and molecular composition of the BBB with special emphasis on the major transport pathways across the barrier type endothelial cells and provides a discussion on the innovative brain drug delivery strategies in which the obstacle formed by BBB interferes with effective pharmacological treatment of neurodegenerative diseases/disorders.

TLDR
A range of interrelated pathways by which influences from the brain side or the blood side can modulate blood–brain barrier permeability are revealed, and pathways capable of reducing permeability hold promise for therapeutic treatment of inflammation and cerebral edema.
Expression of Blood–Brain Barrier Characteristics Following Neuronal Loss and Astroglial Damage after Administration of Anti-Thy-1 Immunotoxin
TLDR
It is concluded that intact neuronal or glial cells do not appear to be necessary for the maintenance in situ of the BBB properties examined herein.
Astrocytes induce blood–brain barrier properties in endothelial cells
TLDR
Direct evidence is provided that astrocytes are capable of inducing blood–brain barrier properties in non-neural endothelial cells in vivo.
Role of the CNS microvascular pericyte in the blood‐brain barrier
TLDR
Pericytes are a very important cellular constituent of the blood‐brain barrier and exhibit unique functional characteristics critical for the pathogenesis of a number of cerebrovascular, neurodegenerative, and neuroimmune diseases.

TLDR
Results of this study show hypoxia-induced changes in paracellular permeability may be due to perturbation of TJ complexes and that posthypoxic reoxygenation reverses these effects.

Re‐evaluating the role of astrocytes in blood‐brain barrier induction
TLDR
This work has shown that astrocytes implanted into the anterior chamber of the rat eye, or onto the chorioallantoic membrane of the chicken embryo, remain unstained by circulating Evan's blue, while grafts of fibroblasts in these sites stain intensely.
