Abstract excerpt
Recent advances in our knowledge of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) have in part been made by studying the properties and function of cerebral endothelial cells in vitro. After an era of working with a fraction, enriched in cerebral microvessels by centrifugation, the next generation of in vitro BBB model systems was introduced, when the conditions for routinely culturing the endothelial cells were established....
