diseases, few studies have addressed the role of these inflammatory mediators in ischemic …

Stroke is the most common cerebrovascular disease, the second leading cause of death
behind heart disease and is a major cause of long-term disability worldwide. Currently …

The inflammatory and immunological responses play a significant role after stroke. The
innate immune activation stimulated by microglia during stroke results in the migration of …

Ischemic stroke, which accounts for 75–80% of all strokes, is the predominant cause of
morbidity and mortality worldwide. The post-stroke immune response has recently emerged …

Hematogenous recruitment of monocytes and macrophages has traditionally been viewed
as a harmful process causing exacerbation of brain injury after stroke. However, emerging …

Ischemic stroke generates an immune response that contributes to neuronal loss as well as
tissue repair. This is a complex process involving a range of cell types and effector …

Inflammatory mechanisms both in the periphery and in the CNS are important in the
pathophysiologic processes occurring after the onset of ischemic stroke (IS). Cytokines are …

Ischemic stroke is the most frequent cause of persistent neurologic disability in modern
Western societies. Albeit it is still not clear whether inflammation is merely an …

Inflammatory and immune responses play important roles following ischaemic stroke.
Inflammatory responses contribute to damage and also contribute to repair. Injury to tissue …

Ischemic stroke after cerebral artery occlusion is one of the major causes of chronic disability
