  • Title: [Structuro-functional organization of the blood-brain barrier].
    Author: Fedorov VP, Ushakov IB, Kordenko AN, Drobyshev VI, Davydov BI.
    Journal: Izv Akad Nauk SSSR Biol; 1989; (1):24-34. PubMed ID: 2654238.
    Abstract:
    The analysis of the authors and published data allowed to conclude that the blood-brain barrier was a complex structural-functional system. Its basic components are endothelial cells, basal membrane, pericytes, tissue basophils, and astrocytes. The role of these structural elements in the permeability of blood-brain barrier has been studied. Organ-specific peculiarities of the brain tissue basophils have been established in rats, cats, and dogs. The astrocyte-capillary complexes were found to be very reactive, and at the same time, very plastic CNS structures.
