Blood-Brain Barrier Consortium

The Blood-Brain Barrier Consortium is a collaborative effort among scientists and researchers focused on understanding and studying the blood-brain barrier (BBB). The BBB is a protective shield formed by specialized blood vessels that tightly regulate what substances can enter the brain from the bloodstream. This barrier is crucial for maintaining brain health but can also hinder drug delivery for neurological treatments. The consortium aims to share knowledge, develop models, and find ways to better understand how the BBB works, with the goal of improving treatments for brain disorders and ensuring safe, effective therapies reach the brain.
