6. Beyond Blood-Brain Barrier Crossing in Reperfusion-Era Ischemic Stroke: Interface-Matched Active-Entity Delivery and Translational Product Design

Bu F, Cao Y, Chen F, Wen Y, Xiong L

Reperfusion therapy has transformed acute ischemic stroke care, yet large-vessel recanalization does not ensure capillary reperfusion, preservation of the blood-brain barrier and neurovascular unit (BBB/NVU), or durable neurological recovery. Nanomedicine is still commonly judged by BBB crossing or…
