Blood-neural Barrier: Intercellular Communication at Glio-Vascular Interface
31 Jul 2006
Abstract excerpt
The blood-neural barrier (BNB), including blood-brain barrier (BBB) and blood-retinal barrier (BRB), is an endothelial barrier constructed by an extensive network of endothelial cells, astrocytes and neurons to form functional "neurovascular units", which has an important role in maintaining a precisely regulated microenvironment for reliable neuronal activity.
