Description
The blood brain barrier (BBB) is the brain’s defense mechanism in its maintenance of homeostasis. This network comprises an intricate, functional shield for the human brain, equipped with highly specialized cells like pericytes, astrocytic end-feet, endothelial and neuronal cells. This highly organized barrier maintains the brain’s structural integrity by revealing a discriminatory absorbency of molecules based on their molecular weight and ample fat solubility. In view of this impediment to the delivery of many prospective therapeutic agents from crossing the inviolate BBB, a myriad of innovative surgical and pharmacological interventions have been developed to bypass it, one of which is the BBBD protocol.
