Role of BBB in inflammation, seizures, strokes, TBI, infections
... The cellular basis of the BBB is at the level of the CNS microvasculature and consists morphologically of nonfenestrated endothelial cells with interendothelial tight junctions. In addition, the maintenance of the BBB function is dependent on normal functioning of pericytes, perivascular microglia, ...
