Stroke: From Pathophysiology to Therapy

Dear Colleagues,

Stroke or ischemia is a potentially fatal occurrence that causes a number of co-morbidities linked to neurological problems. Although there are some post-stroke treatments available, very few people have successfully recovered from such a traumatic brain injury. There are incredibly few medications or technologies that have progressed to the clinical trial stage after tPA. Clinical procedures such as cardiac transplants and kidney transplants can result in gradual, life-threatening damage to the brain and ischemic brain injury.  The present Special Issue is focused on improvements in stroke research, treatment, and cures; however, the submission of case reports, in-depth reviews, and unique molecular mechanistic research is also encouraged. Manuscript submissions that concern such conditions that result in ischemia injury (novel animal models and clinical cases) and progressive brain damage with novel approaches and treatment alternatives are also encouraged. The goal of the Special Issue is to publish articles regarding diseases or associated pathologies that turn into ischemia events and the current treatments for them.

Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process.
