Globally, stroke is a primary reason for death and lasting disability (Benjamin et al., 2019). Inflammation is critical in the course of a stroke and is closely linked to prognosis (Anrather & Iadecola, 2016).The inflammatory response following stroke involves immune cell infiltration, glial cell activation, and the emission of diverse neurotoxic molecules, such as pro-inflammatory cytokines, matrix metalloproteinases, and nitric oxide synthase, which further exacerbates neurological damage by causing endothelial cell damage, bloodbrain barrier (BBB) disruption, and neuronal apoptosis (Jayaraj et al., 2019). Therefore, immunotherapy targeting the post-stroke
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
