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.
