    The cerebrovascular endothelium actively regulates neuroimmune responses, challenging the view of it as a passive barrier.

  • 2

    Activated endothelial cells interact with immune cells, contributing to neuroinflammation and vascular dysfunction in neurological disorders.

  • 3

    Endothelial dysfunction initiates a cycle of immune signaling that disrupts the blood-brain barrier, exacerbating neuronal damage.

  • 4

    Recent advancements in technology have revealed heterogeneity in brain endothelial cells and their inflammatory signatures.

  • 5

    Understanding immune-endothelial interactions is crucial for developing targeted therapeutic strategies for neurological disorders.
