Abstract
The blood-brain barrier (BBB) plays central roles in the maintenance and health of the brain. Its mechanisms to safeguard the brain against xenobiotics and endogenous toxins also make the BBB the primary obstacle to the development of drugs for the central nervous system (CNS). Here, we review classic examples of the intersection of clinical medicine, drug delivery, and the BBB. We highlight the role of lipid solubility (heroin), saturable brain-to-blood (efflux: opiates) and blood-to-brain (influx: nutrients, vitamins, and minerals) transport systems, and adsorptive transcytosis (viruses and incretin receptor agonists). We examine how the disruption of the BBB that occurs in certain diseases (tumors) can also be modulated (osmotic agents and microbubbles) and used to deliver treatments, and the role of extracellular pathways in gaining access to the CNS (albumin and antibodies). In summary, this review provides a historical perspective of the key role of the BBB in delivery of drugs to the brain in health and disease.

期刊介绍:
Cell Reports Medicine is an esteemed open-access journal by Cell Press that publishes groundbreaking research in translational and clinical biomedical sciences, influencing human health and medicine.
Our journal ensures wide visibility and accessibility, reaching scientists and clinicians across various medical disciplines. We publish original research that spans from intriguing human biology concepts to all aspects of clinical work. We encourage submissions that introduce innovative ideas, forging new paths in clinical research and practice. We also welcome studies that provide vital information, enhancing our understanding of current standards of care in diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. This encompasses translational studies, clinical trials (including long-term follow-ups), genomics, biomarker discovery, and technological advancements that contribute to diagnostics, treatment, and healthcare. Additionally, studies based on vertebrate model organisms are within the scope of the journal, as long as they directly relate to human health and disease.
