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.
