Blood–brain barrier (BBB) breakdown leading to cerebral edema occurs in many brain diseases—such as trauma, stroke, inflammation, infection, and tumors—and is an important factor in the mortality arising from these con- tions. Despite the importance of the BBB in the pathogenesis of these diseases, the molecular mechanisms occurring at the BBB are not completely und- stood. In the last decade a number of molecules have been identified not only in endothelial cells, but also in astrocytes, pericytes, and the perivascular cells that interact with endothelium to maintain cerebral homeostasis. However, the precise cellular interactions at a molecular level in steady ... Read more

Reviews for The Blood-Brain Barrier. Biology and Research Protocols.
"An outstanding addition to the field! The book is unique in its organization and ease of reading and use as research resource. In my view, this book will emerge as one of the more cited and critical sources of information for all researchers exploring the nature of the blood-brain barrier."-Doody's Health Science Book Review Journal
