Tocilizumab promotes repair of spinal cord injury by facilitating the restoration of tight junctions between vascular endothelial cells

Abstract Background Our previous study demonstrated that M1 macrophages could impair tight junctions (TJs) between vascular endothelial cells by secreting interleukin-6 (IL-6) after spinal cord injury (SCI). Tocilizumab, as a humanized IL-6 receptor (IL-6R) monoclonal antibody approved for the clini...
