Not open and shut : Complex and prolonged blood-brain barrier responses after stroke

Blood-brain barrier dysfunction (BBB) occurs rapidly after stroke and contributes to edema, inflammation, and secondary brain injury including haemorrhage. Two recent studies shed light on the temporal extent of post-stroke BBB dysfunction as well as its consequences for drug delivery. Zhang et al. found increases in BBB permeability that persist up to one-year post-ischemia. Despite increased paracellular leakage, Stanton et al. showed that transcellular transporter systems are required to deliver therapeutics into brain parenchyma. Both studies remind us of the complexity of BBB responses after stroke and provide novel entry points for future research into the underlying mechanisms.
