Abstract
The increased vulnerability of the cerebral vasculature to thrombus development after MCAo/R is mediated by IL-6, which is likely derived from brain cells rather than circulating blood cells. These findings suggest that anti-IL-6 therapy may reduce the likelihood of cerebral thrombus development after a transient ischemic attack.
