Butylphthalide enhances neurorestoration following ischemic stroke by restructuring microvasculature through vimentin modulation

Ischemic stroke severely threatens human health. Rapid restoration of cerebral blood flow (CBF) in ischemic microvessels is significant as it enhances neurovascular function, prevents neuronal death, and minimises cerebrovascular injury. Although butylphthalide (NBP) is commonly used to treat ischemic stroke, its exact molecular target remains unclear.
