How can therapeutic strategies be adapted to overcome age-related differences in immune responses and neurovascular integrity post-stroke?

OPEN

The authors explicitly identify a substantial translational gap in adapting emerging therapies to the aged brain, citing differences in immune responses and neurovascular integrity. This represents a critical barrier to developing effective stroke treatments for the most vulnerable population.
