Macrophage-Derived, Rather Than Microglial, Cathepsin B Exacerbates Brain Injury After Ischemic Stroke
Glia. 2026 Dec;74(12):e70228. doi: 10.1002/glia.70228.ABSTRACTNeuroimmune responses critically shape the progression and outcome of ischemic stroke, yet the cell type-specific roles of myeloid populations remain incompletely defined. Cathepsin B (CatB), a lysosomal cysteine protease, has been implic
