Results for tag: "Blood Brain Barrier"

The Blood Brain Barrier (BBB) is a specialized membrane that separates the brain from the rest of the body. It is composed of tightly packed cells that form a barrier to protect the brain from potentially harmful substances. The BBB is an important factor in the development of Central Nervous System (CNS) drugs, as it can limit the effectiveness of certain drugs. To overcome this, drug developers must create drugs that can cross the BBB and reach the target area in the brain. This requires a deep understanding of the BBB and its components, as well as the development of new drug delivery systems. The BBB market is an important part of the CNS drug market, as it provides the necessary tools to develop effective drugs. Companies in this market include AbbVie, AstraZeneca, Biogen, Eli Lilly, Merck, Novartis, Pfizer, and Sanofi. Show Less Read more
