Therapeutic prospects for fibroblast growth factor treatment of brain ischemia.
Ischemic stroke causes neurological disability in millions of people worldwide each year. At present, standard therapies are often ineffective in stroke prevention. In this review, we summarize recent findings on the role of fibroblast growth factors in neuroprotection after experimental brain ischemia.
