Abstract excerpt
The blood-brain barrier (BBB) regulates the passage of material between the bloodstream and the brain. Recent genomic and proteomic studies of the BBB have identified some of the unique molecular characteristics of this vascular bed, and have reinforced the concept that the BBB is heavily involved in brain function. Genomic and proteomic techniques have also been used to analyze the molecular events underlying...
