PLAT and stroke disorder: Although the investigation is still in an early phase, modulating endothelial transcytosis may improve tPA efficacy or tolerability, and studies inhibiting the production of VEGF may complement thrombolytic therapy of rt-PA after stroke [46]; Interestingly, recent studies have indicated that besides the most well-studied angiogenic growth factors, the guidance molecules also play a role in post stroke BBB leakage [48].
