Abstract
Ischemic stroke, the most prevalent form of stroke, severely impacts human health due to its high incidence, disability, and mortality rates. The complex pathological response to ischemic stroke involves the interplay of various cells and tissues. Among these, astrocytes and microglia, as essential components of nervous system, play significant roles in the pathological processes of ischemic stroke. In addition to their individual functions, an increasing number of studies have revealed that the interaction between astrocytes and microglia is crucial following ischemic stroke. It integrates current research reports to examine and clarify the effects of interaction between the microglia and astrocytes on the nervous system after ischemic stroke, aiming to provide new insights and approaches for future academic research and disease treatment.
期刊介绍:
Molecular Brain is an open access, peer-reviewed journal that considers manuscripts on all aspects of studies on the nervous system at the molecular, cellular, and systems level providing a forum for scientists to communicate their findings.
Molecular brain research is a rapidly expanding research field in which integrative approaches at the genetic, molecular, cellular and synaptic levels yield key information about the physiological and pathological brain. These studies involve the use of a wide range of modern techniques in molecular biology, genomics, proteomics, imaging and electrophysiology.
