The brain is an immune-privileged organ, meaning it is protected from the entry of pathogens, blood circulating factors, and immune cells by a physical barrier called the blood-brain barrier (BBB).

But pathological events such as ischemia (stroke), trauma (traumatic brain injury), or tumor growth (gliomas and brain metastasis), activate the vascular endothelium, disturb or disrupt the BBB and allow immune cell homing.

In th...
