title: Stroke and other cerebrovascular diseases.
abstract: To achieve success in developing more effective treatments for stroke, we need a better understanding in all aspects of stroke including prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and post-stroke recovery and complications. The objective of this special issue is to bring to the readership of Neurochemistry International the latest developments and knowledge in a broad spectrum of areas of stroke research in both review and original research articles. Topics include neuroprotective diets, biomarkers used to aid clinical management, neurodegenerative as well as neuroprotective effects of the immune system, potential therapeutic targets, engineered growth factors that promote endogenous neuroregeneration, mechanisms of cerebral small vessel disease, and post stroke epilepsy.
