Biological process

Exact synonym

maintenance of BBB, maintenance of blood/brain barrier

Description

Maintaining the structure and function of the blood-brain barrier, thus ensuring specific regulated transport of substances (e.g. macromolecules, small molecules, ions) into the brain, and out of the brain into the blood circulation.

Comment

Homeostasis and maintenance processes are regulatory processes, therefore, regulation child terms, such as: regulation of maintenance of blood-brain barrier, should not exist for these terms. Instead, for capturing regulation at the blood-brain barrier, consider using the part_of child term: regulation of blood-brain barrier permeability.
