Abstract

Cerebral ischemia, the most prevalent form of clinical stroke, is a medical problem of the first magnitude. Substantial efforts are being made to develop drugs which will protect the brain from the neurodegeneration that follows ischemic stroke. However, no medical treatment is currently approved for the treatment of stroke to reduce brain infarction or neurological disability beyond tissue plasminogen activator. (omitted)
