Abstract
The blood–brain barrier (BBB) is brain-specific capillary barrier that restricts the movement of soluble mediators and leukocytes from the blood to the central nervous system (CNS). The pathological breakdown of the BBB may be the initial key step of various neuroinflammatory CNS diseases including multiple sclerosis, bacterial meningitis, and neuroAIDS. This review describes an update of the biology of the cell comprising the BBB, and highlights the pathology and pathomechanisms of BBB breakdown in neuroinflammatory diseases. The human immortalized cell lines of BBB origin established in our laboratory will facilitate the future development of BBB research.
