Abstract
The disruption of the blood-brain barrier marks a pivotal early pathological event in ischemic stroke that significantly contributes to subsequent permanent damage. Here we delve into the ramifications of a study conducted by Xu and colleagues, which underscores the essential role of the protein peroxiredoxin-4 in cerebrovascular endothelial cells. Peroxiredoxin-4 was shown to preserve blood-brain barrier integrity during the early stages after cerebral ischemia and reperfusion, ultimately leading to improved long-term outcomes.
期刊介绍:
JCBFM is the official journal of the International Society for Cerebral Blood Flow & Metabolism, which is committed to publishing high quality, independently peer-reviewed research and review material. JCBFM stands at the interface between basic and clinical neurovascular research, and features timely and relevant research highlighting experimental, theoretical, and clinical aspects of brain circulation, metabolism and imaging. The journal is relevant to any physician or scientist with an interest in brain function, cerebrovascular disease, cerebral vascular regulation and brain metabolism, including neurologists, neurochemists, physiologists, pharmacologists, anesthesiologists, neuroradiologists, neurosurgeons, neuropathologists and neuroscientists.
