1
The blood-brain barrier (BBB) protects the brain from toxins but complicates drug delivery, restricting most therapeutics from entering.
-
2
Recent research highlights the BBB's molecular and cellular architecture, revealing its heterogeneity across brain regions and the arteriovenous axis.
-
3
Changes in the BBB occur with aging, neurodegeneration, and brain injuries, impacting transport mechanisms and disease progression.
-
4
Novel drug delivery strategies are being developed to enhance the transport of therapeutics across the BBB, addressing significant treatment challenges.
