Introduction An estimated seven million adults in the United States suffer from stroke each year, making it the fifth leading cause of death and the first leading cause of long-term disability (Benjamin et al., 2019). The immune response and inflammation are major stroke components effecting severity, as they can significantly exacerbate the primary stroke injury and cause further cell death in the brain (Deb et al., 2010; Borgens and Liu-Snyder, 2012).
