The striking upregulation of endothelial ICAM-1 expression, functioning in concert with chemotactic factors, may cause granulocyte infiltration during the first 3 days after stroke. This study may support the usage and timing of antibody infusions to block endothelial adhesion molecules in an attempt to reduce leukocyte-induced damage in stroke.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
