Statins Therapy is Associated with Increased Populations of Early Endothelial Progenitor (CD133+/VEGFR2+) and Endothelial (CD34-/CD133- /VEGFR2+) Cells in Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke.

abstract：:The blood-brain barrier (BBB) consists in part of a highly specialized set of cells which separates the brain from the vascular system. The BBB controls the entry and exit of substances from the brain tissue through tight junctions (TJs) between endothelial cells. It is known that the hormone prolactin (PRL) is able t...
