The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a highly specialized brain endothelial structure of the fully
differentiated neurovascular system. In concert with pericytes, astrocytes, and microglia, the …

Polymer nanomaterials have sparked a considerable interest as vehicles used for diagnostic
and therapeutic agents; research in nanomedicine has not only become a frontier movement …

The strength of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) in providing protection to the central nervous
system from exposure to circulating chemicals is maintained by tight junctions between …

The blood–brain barrier (BBB) restricts the entry of proteins as well as potential drugs to
cerebral tissues. We previously reported that a family of Kunitz domain‐derived peptides …

The blood–brain barrier (BBB) serves as a protective mechanism for the brain by preventing
entry of potentially harmful substances from free access to the central nervous system …

We present and discuss the role of endothelial and astroglial cells in managing the blood-
brain barrier (BBB) and aspects of pathological alterations in the BBB. The impact of …

Caveolins are a family of transmembrane proteins located in caveolae, small lipid raft
invaginations of the plasma membrane. The roles of caveolin-enriched lipid rafts are …

Transport of several xenobiotics including pharmacological agents into or out of the central
nervous system (CNS) involves the expression of ATP-dependent, membrane-bound efflux …

Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) often involve vascular dysfunction that leads to long‐term
alterations in physiological and cognitive functions of the brain. Indeed, all the cells that form …

Efficient entry of synthetic polymers inside cells is a central issue in polymeric drug delivery.
Though polymers are widely believed to interact nonspecifically with plasma membrane, we …
