Abstract
The interaction mechanisms between magnetic fields (MFs) and living systems, which remained hidden for more than a hundred years, continue to attract the attention of researchers from various disciplines: physics, biology, medicine, and life sciences. Revealing these mechanisms at the cellular level would allow to understand complex cell systems and could help to explain and predict cell responses to MFs, intervene in organisms' reactions to MFs of different strengths, directions, and spatial distributions. We suggest several new physical mechanisms of the MF impacts on endothelial and cancer cells by the MF interaction with chains of biogenic and non-biogenic magnetic nanoparticles on cell membranes. The revealed mechanisms can play a hitherto unexpected role in creating physiological responses of organisms to externally applied MFs. We have also a set of theoretical models that can predict how cells will individually and collectively respond to a MF exposure. The physiological sequences of the MF - cell interactions for organisms in health and disease are discussed. The described effects and their underlying mechanisms are general and should take place in a large family of biological effects of MFs. The results are of great importance for further developing novel approaches in cell biology, cell therapy and medicine.

Abstract
The integrity of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) is mainly maintained by endothelial cells and basement membrane and could be regulated by pericytes, neurons, and glial cells including astrocytes, microglia, oligodendrocytes (OLs), and oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs). BBB damage is the main pathological basis of hemorrhage transformation (HT) and vasogenic edema after stroke. In addition, BBB damage-induced HT and vasogenic edema will aggravate the secondary brain tissue damage. Of note, after reperfusion, oxidative stress-initiated cascade plays a critical role in the BBB damage after acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Although endothelial cells are the target of oxidative stress, the role of glial cell-derived oxidative stress in BBB damage after AIS also should receive more attention. In the current review, we first introduce the physiology and pathophysiology of the BBB, then we summarize the possible mechanisms related to BBB damage after AIS. We aim to characterize the role of glial cell-derived oxidative stress in BBB damage after AIS and discuss the role of oxidative stress in astrocytes, microglia cells and oligodendrocytes in after AIS, respectively.

Abstract
The blood–brain barrier is playing a critical role in controlling the influx and efflux of biological substances essential for the brain’s metabolic activity as well as neuronal function. Thus, the functional and structural integrity of the BBB is pivotal to maintain the homeostasis of the brain microenvironment. The different cells and structures contributing to developing this barrier are summarized along with the different functions that BBB plays at the brain–blood interface. We also explained the role of shear stress in maintaining BBB integrity. Furthermore, we elaborated on the clinical aspects that correlate between BBB disruption and different neurological and pathological conditions. Finally, we discussed several biomarkers that can help to assess the BBB permeability and integrity in-vitro or in-vivo and briefly explain their advantages and disadvantages.

Abstract
The presence of a blood-brain barrier (BBB) and a blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier presents animmense challenge for effective delivery of therapeutics to the central nervous system. Many potential drugs, which are effective at their site of action, have failed due to the lack of distribution in sufficient quantity to the central nervous system (CNS). In consequence, many diseases of the central nervous system remain undertreated. Antibodies, IgG for example, are difficult to deliver to the CNS due to their size (~155 kDa), physico-chemical properties and the presence of Fc receptor on the blood-brain barrier. Smaller antibodies, like the recently developed nanobodies, may overcome the obstacle of the BBB and enter into the CNS. The nanobodies are the smallest available antigen-binding fragments harbouring the full antigenbinding capacity of conventional antibodies. They represent a new generation of therapeutics with exceptional properties, such as: recognition of unique epitopes, target specificity, high affinity, high solubility, high stability and high expression yields in cost-effective recombinant production. Their ability to permeate across the BBBmakes thema promising alternative for central nervous system disease therapeutics. In this review, we have systematically presented different aspects of the BBB, drug delivery mechanisms employed to cross the BBB, and finally nanobodies — a potential therapeutic molecule against neuroinfections.

Abstract
Neural signalling within the central nervous system (CNS) requires a highly controlled microenvironment. Cells at three key interfaces form barriers between the blood and the CNS: the blood-brain barrier (BBB), blood-CSF barrier and the arachnoid barrier. The BBB at the level of brain microvessel endothelium is the major site of blood-CNS exchange. The structure and function of the BBB is summarised, the physical barrier formed by the endothelial tight junctions, and the transport barrier resulting from membrane transporters and vesicular mechanisms. The roles of associated cells are outlined, especially the endfeet of astrocytic glial cells, and pericytes and microglia. The embryonic development of the BBB, and changes in pathology are described. The BBB is subject to short and long-term regulation, which may be disturbed in pathology. Any programme for drug discovery or delivery, to target or avoid the CNS, needs to consider the special features of the BBB.

Abstract
The presence of a blood-brain barrier (BBB) and a blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier presents a huge challenge for effective delivery of therapeutics to the central nervous system (CNS). Many potential drugs, which are effective at their site of action, have failed and have been discarded during their development for clinical use due to a failure to deliver them in sufficient quantity to the CNS. In consequence, many diseases of the CNS are undertreated. In recent years, it has become clear that the blood-CNS barriers are not only anatomical barriers to the free movement of solutes between blood and brain but also transport and metabolic barriers. The cell association, sometimes called the neurovascular unit, constitutes the BBB and is now appreciated to be a complex group of interacting cells, which in combination induce the formation of a BBB. The various strategies available and under development for enhancing drug delivery to the CNS are reviewed.

Abstract
Acetylcholine and vasoactive intestinal polypeptide are not only two vasoactive agonists that predominantly induce a vasodilatation of the cerebral arteries, but also correspond to neurotransmitters that innervate the various anatomical segments of the cerebral vasculature. The distinct patterns of the cerebrovascular cholinergic and vasoactive intestinal polypeptidergic innervation, their neurochemistry, in vitro and in vivo pharmacology, as well as the putative pathophysiological implications of these neurotransmission systems are critically summarized on the basis of the most recently published literature.

Abstract
Cerebral cortical microvessels are innervated by cholinergic fibers that are probably involved in the regulation of local cerebral blood flow and blood-brain barrier permeability. The possibility exists that the cholinergic terminals associated with the cortical microvasculature belong to neurons from the nucleus basalis magnocellularis (NBM), where 70% of the cortical cholinergic projections originate. To test this hypothesis, ibotenic acid (25 nmol) was injected unilaterally in the NBM in rats, and 14 days later, choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) activity was measured in the frontoparietal cortex and in a blood vessel fraction isolated from this region. Lesions of the NBM resulted in a 50% decrease of cortical ChAT as compared with control or sham-operated hemispheres; however, no changes were observed in the ChAT activity associated with cortical microvessels. These results indicate that, in rat cerebral cortex, the perivascular cholinergic terminals do not originate in the basal forebrain.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of prazosin, an alpha 1-adrenoceptor antagonist, on morphometric indexes of the total and perfused cerebral microvascular bed 1 hour after middle cerebral artery (MCA) ligation in pentobarbital-anesthetized rats. We hypothesized that this agent would prevent catecholamine-induced vasoconstriction in the ischemic brain. Cerebral blood flow (CBF) was determined with 14C-iodoantipyrine, and the perfused microvascular bed was visualized using fluorescein isothiocyanate-dextran. MCA occlusion did not alter systemic hemodynamic or blood gas parameters. CBF averaged 29 +/- 15 (mean +/- SD) ml/min/100 g in the MCA-ligated cortex and 49 +/- 18 in the other examined brain regions. Prazosin did not significantly alter these CBF values, averaging 26 +/- 14 and 48 +/- 10, respectively. There were no significant regional differences in total capillaries/mm2 in either group. The percent of the capillaries/mm2 perfused (51 +/- 6%) was similar in the two groups in all examined regions except the ischemic cortex. In the MCA-ligated cortex, 22 +/- 8% of the capillary volume was perfused in comparison with 49 +/- 8% in the prazosin-treated group. Prazosin-treated rats had an increased percentage of their microvasculature perfused despite a similarly reduced CBF. Prazosin appeared to reduce diffusion distances in the ischemic cortex. This might be due to its alpha 1-adrenoceptor blocking activity.

Abstract
Nutritional iron deficiency induced in rats causes a significant reduction in level of brain nonheme iron and is accompanied by selective reduction of dopamine D2 receptor Bmax. Our previous studies have clearly demonstrated that these alterations can be restored to normal by supplementation with ferrous sulfate; however, neither brain nonheme iron level nor dopamine D2 receptor Bmax can be increased beyond control values even after long-term iron therapy. The possibility that iron deficiency can induce the breakdown of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) was examined. A 70 and 100% increase in brain uptake index (BUI) for L-glucose and insulin, respectively, were noted in iron-deficient rats. However, the BUI for valine was decreased by 40%, and those for L-norepinephrine and glycine were unchanged. In addition, it was demonstrated that in normal rats insulin is transported into the brain. The data show that iron deficiency selectively affects the integrity of the BBB for insulin, glucose, and valine transport. Whether the effect of iron deficiency on the BBB is at the level of the capillary endothelial cell tight junction is not yet known. However, this study has shown that an important nutritional disorder (iron-deficiency anemia) has a profound effect on the BBB and brain function.

Abstract
Capillaries in vertebrate brain have unique permeability properties that make up the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Although it is known that capillaries are innervated by nerve endings of intracerebral origin and that brain capillary function is likely acutely regulated by neuronal inputs, the possible mechanisms of neuronal regulation of capillary function are at present unknown. One possible mode of regulation is via the phosphorylation of brain capillary proteins. The present studies characterize, for the first time, the major phosphoproteins in the bovine brain capillary using both intact bovine brain capillaries and plasma membrane fractions from bovine brain capillaries. The patterns of endogenous phosphorylation of capillary proteins are compared to similar patterns obtained with synaptosomal (P2) fractions from bovine brain. The major findings of this study are: (a) The activity of protein phosphorylation in brain capillaries is localized almost exclusively to the capillary plasma membrane, and is nearly comparable to the activity of protein phosphorylation in synaptosomal membranes. (b) A major phosphoprotein doublet in the capillary fraction comigrates on a sodium dodecyl sulfate gel with a major phosphoprotein doublet of approximate molecular weight of 80K in the synaptosomal fraction, and the latter is presumed to be synapsin I; in dephosphorylation assays the synaptosomal 80K phosphoprotein doublet is not subject to measurable dephosphorylation, whereas the capillary 80K doublet is subject to rapid dephosphorylation, and is essentially completely dephosphorylated within 5 s at 0 degrees C. (c) A prominent triplet of phosphoproteins with molecular weight of 50-55K is present in the capillary fraction, and is not present in the synaptosomal fraction; thus, this 50-55K triplet of phosphoproteins appears specific for brain capillaries.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The protein tracer, horseradish peroxidase (HRP), was infused into the lateral cerebral ventricles or subarachnoid space of anesthetized cats and dogs after insertion of a cisternal cannula to permit drainage of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and tracer solution. The intracerebral distribution of the tracer was then determined by light microscopy of serial brain sections after postinfusion intervals of 4 min-2 h. For the localization of HRP, sections were incubated with diaminobenzidine (DAB) or the much more sensitive chromogen, tetramethylbenzidine (TMB). The TMB reaction showed a consistent 'paravascular' distribution of tracer reaction product, within the perivascular spaces (PVS) around large penetrating vessels and in the basal laminae around capillaries, far beyond the termination of the PVS. After infusion of HRP over 4 min, arterioles were surrounded by the tracer, but capillaries and venules were usually less densely demarcated; by 6 min, however, the intraparenchymal microvasculature was outlined in toto throughout the forebrain and brainstem. Electron microscopy of sections incubated in DAB after 10 or 20 min HRP circulation confirmed the paravascular location of the reaction product, which was also dispersed throughout the extracellular spaces (ECS) of the adjacent parenchyma. Our results demonstrate that solutes in the CSF have access to the ECS throughout the neuraxis within minutes via fluid pathways paralleling the intraparenchymal vasculature. The rapid paravascular influx of HRP could be prevented by stopping or diminishing the pulsations of the cerebral arteries by aortic occlusion or by partial ligation of the brachiocephalic artery. The exchange of solutes between the CSF and the cerebral ECS has generally been attributed to diffusion, however, HRP enters the neuraxis along the intraparenchymal microvasculature far more rapidly than can be explained on this basis. This apparent convective tracer influx may be facilitated by transmission of the pulsations of the cerebral arteries to the microvasculature. We postulate that a fluid circulation through the CNS occurs via paravascular pathways.
