Endothelial Cell-Pericyte Interplay in Ischemic Stroke: Unraveling Pathogenic Networks and Translational Frontiers

Ischemic stroke remains a leading cause of death and long-term disability worldwide. Increasing evidence indicates that endothelial cell-pericyte (EC-PC) crosstalk is not merely a structural feature of the neurovascular unit, but a dynamic regulatory axis that shapes blood-brain...
