Abstract
Ischemic stroke has a high disability rate, which leads to irreversible neuronal death. The efficacy of conventional stroke treatments, including thrombolytic and neuroprotective therapies, is constrained by a number of factors, including safety concerns and inefficient drug delivery. The advent of nanomaterials has created new avenues for stroke therapy, facilitating enhanced pharmacokinetic behavior of drugs, effective drug accumulation at the target site, augmented therapeutic efficacy, and concomitant reduction in side effects. Therefore, this paper pioneers a research approach that summarized the development trend and clinical value of nanomaterials in the field of ischemic stroke through bibliometric analysis. This review provides an overview of the pathophysiological mechanisms of stroke and examines the current research trends in the use of nanomaterials in stroke management. It encompasses a multitude of domains, including targeted drug delivery systems, biosensors for the sensitive detection of biomarkers, and neuroprotective nanotechnologies capable of traversing the blood-brain barrier. Moreover, we investigate the challenges that nanomaterials encounter in the clinical translation context, including those pertaining to biocompatibility and long-term safety. These results have provided the clinical value and limitations of nanomaterials in the diagnosis and treatment of ischemic stroke from double perspectives, thereby offering new avenues for the further development of innovative nanotherapeutic tools.
期刊介绍:
Science has many big remaining questions. To address them, we will need to work collaboratively and across disciplines. The goal of iScience is to help fuel that type of interdisciplinary thinking. iScience is a new open-access journal from Cell Press that provides a platform for original research in the life, physical, and earth sciences. The primary criterion for publication in iScience is a significant contribution to a relevant field combined with robust results and underlying methodology. The advances appearing in iScience include both fundamental and applied investigations across this interdisciplinary range of topic areas. To support transparency in scientific investigation, we are happy to consider replication studies and papers that describe negative results.
We know you want your work to be published quickly and to be widely visible within your community and beyond. With the strong international reputation of Cell Press behind it, publication in iScience will help your work garner the attention and recognition it merits. Like all Cell Press journals, iScience prioritizes rapid publication. Our editorial team pays special attention to high-quality author service and to efficient, clear-cut decisions based on the information available within the manuscript. iScience taps into the expertise across Cell Press journals and selected partners to inform our editorial decisions and help publish your science in a timely and seamless way.
