Abstract
Ischemic stroke occurs when blood supply to the brain is interrupted. This can cause irreversible injury to the central nervous system (CNS) tissue. Each year in the United States almost 800,000 people experience a new or recurrent stroke. 15% of stroke patients die shortly after insult and only 10% recover completely, leaving the majority of surviving stroke patients with disabilities. Tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA) is the only available therapy for stroke but its clinical use is limited because of associated danger of intracranial hemorrhage. Therefore, there is an emergent need for stroke therapeutics that are safe and effective when administered at a later time point after insult.
