Abstract
In multiple disease areas, neurology has failed to translate promising treatments from positive preclinical studies to successful clinical trial results. Despite this history, we persist in testing new, putative neuroprotectants using the same concepts, approaches, and methods without much modification. Recent novel data and new concepts offer an opportunity to break with past doctrine decisively, and open a new era of different approaches, methods, and strategies for studying future protections for brain injury. Cerebroprotection is a fresh framework for designing neurological therapy that targets glia and vascular cells, in addition to neurons. ANN NEUROL 2025.
期刊介绍:
Annals of Neurology publishes original articles with potential for high impact in understanding the pathogenesis, clinical and laboratory features, diagnosis, treatment, outcomes and science underlying diseases of the human nervous system. Articles should ideally be of broad interest to the academic neurological community rather than solely to subspecialists in a particular field. Studies involving experimental model system, including those in cell and organ cultures and animals, of direct translational relevance to the understanding of neurological disease are also encouraged.
