We did a twitter poll and the people have spoken! You folks want to hear about the "Blood Brain Barrier"! But what is it, besides great alliteration?! The blood brain barrier is a lot like a bouncer for the exclusive dance club that is your brain -- but who is allowed in? How does one get in? And on a cellular and protein level, who are the actual bouncers that keep us out? Next week we will get into some of the details on diseases and drugs and their impact on the blood brain barrier, so tune in next week too!
