A blood–brain barrier overview on structure, function, impairment, and biomarkers of integrity

Hossam Kadry, Behnam Noorani, Luca Cucullo · 18 Nov 2020

The blood-brain barrier is playing a critical role in controlling the influx and efflux of biological substances essential for the brain's metabolic activity as well as neuronal function. Thus, the functional and structural integrity of the BBB is pivotal to maintain the homeostasis of the brain microenvironment. The different cells and structures contributing to developing…

A new look at cerebrospinal fluid circulation

Thomas Brinker, Edward G. Stopa, John F. Morrison et al. · 1 Jan 2014

According to the traditional understanding of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) physiology, the majority of CSF is produced by the choroid plexus, circulates through the ventricles, the cisterns, and the subarachnoid space to be absorbed into the blood by the arachnoid villi. This review surveys key developments leading to the traditional concept. Challenging this concept are novel…

The hCMEC/D3 cell line as a model of the human blood brain barrier

Babette B. Weksler, Ignacio A. Romero, Pierre‐Olivier Couraud · 26 Mar 2013

Since the first attempts in the 1970s to isolate cerebral microvessel endothelial cells (CECs) in order to model the blood-brain barrier (BBB) in vitro, the need for a human BBB model that closely mimics the in vivo phenotype and is reproducible and easy to grow, has been widely recognized by cerebrovascular researchers in both academia…

Tight junctions at the blood brain barrier: physiological architecture and disease-associated dysregulation

Anny‐Claude Luissint, Cédric Artus, Fabienne Glacial et al. · 9 Nov 2012

The Blood-brain barrier (BBB), present at the level of the endothelium of cerebral blood vessels, selectively restricts the blood-to-brain paracellular diffusion of compounds; it is mandatory for cerebral homeostasis and proper neuronal function. The barrier properties of these specialized endothelial cells notably depend on tight junctions (TJs) between adjacent cells: TJs are dynamic structures consisting…

Mechanisms of fluid movement into, through and out of the brain: evaluation of the evidence

Stephen B. Hladky, Margery A. Barrand · 1 Jan 2014

Interstitial fluid (ISF) surrounds the parenchymal cells of the brain and spinal cord while cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) fills the larger spaces within and around the CNS. Regulation of the composition and volume of these fluids is important for effective functioning of brain cells and is achieved by barriers that prevent free exchange between CNS and…
