La Barrera Hemato-Encefálica en la patología del Sistema Nervioso Central: su importancia en la Respuesta Inflamatoria

Introduction. The blood-brain barrier (BBB) constitutes a well-defined structure which plays a role in the normal homeostasis of the central nervous system (CNS) and in certain disease processes affecting it. Methods. Over 50 reviews and peer-reviewed experimental publications published over the las...
