Abstract

Brain barriers are morphological and functional structures responsible for selective transport of different biological substances between blood and brain. There are three kinds of brain barriers: blood/brain tissue barrier, blood/brain fluid barrier and brain fluid/brain tissue barrier. The blood/brain tissue barrier which consists of brain vascular epithelial cells is thought to play the main role in intracranial homeostasis.
