How ischaemic stroke affects the brain borders is not fully understood. Here the authors show that a stroke-associated myeloid cell population occurs exclusively in brain parenchyma that shares features with neurodegenerative microglia and blockade of proteins on these cells can ameliorate stroke symptoms.
