| Abstract |
The blood-brain barrier refers to the very low permeability across microvessels in the Central Nervous System (CNS), created by the interaction between vascular endothelial cells and surrounding cells of the neurovascular unit. Permeability can be modulated (increased and decreased) by a variety of factors including inflammatory mediators, inflammatory cells such as neutrophils and through alterations in the phenotype of blood vessels during angiogenesis and apoptosis. In this chapter, some of these factors are discussed as well as the challenge of treating harmful increases in permeability that result in brain swelling (vasogenic cerebral edema). |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 03 July 2013.
All research outputs
#17,683,485
of 22,703,044 outputs
Outputs from Advances in experimental medicine and biology
#3,069
of 4,906 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#214,328
of 287,601 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Advances in experimental medicine and biology
#94
of 163 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,703,044 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 19th percentile – i.e., 19% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,906 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.0. This one is in the 33rd percentile – i.e., 33% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 287,601 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 163 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 38th percentile – i.e., 38% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
