Increases in intracellular calcium perturb blood–brain barrier via protein kinase C-alpha and apoptosis

An increase in intracellular calcium represents one of the early events during an ischaemic stroke. It triggers many downstream processes which promote the formation of brain oedema, the leading cause of death after an ischaemic stroke. As impairment of blood–brain barrier (BBB) accounts for much of...
