Abstract < /h3 > < p class= " a-plus-plus " > The brain is protected by a tight barrier between the blood and parenchyma. This so-called blood–brain barrier protects the brain from invading pathogens, infiltrating immune cells, and the extravasation of serum proteins. Beside pericytes and astrocytes mainly endothelial cells form this barrier. < /p > < p class= " a..."> Abstract < /h3 > < p class= " a-plus-plus " > The brain is protected by a tight barrier between the blood and parenchyma.
