Abstract
Stroke and traumatic brain injury (TBI) cause marked changes in blood–brain barrier (BBB) function. These changes result in increased barrier permeability, vasogenic edema, and an influx of leukocytes into brain. As such, they are a therapeutic target. In addition, changes at the BBB can affect the entry of therapeutics into the brain. This chapter describes the changes in BBB function that occur after brain injury, the impact on drug delivery for stroke and TBI and potential ways of circumventing the BBB for therapy.
