Preconditioning brain white matter against ischemia
PROJECT SUMMARY A growth in the aging population together with improved stroke care has resulted in an increase in survivors and a rise in recurrent ischemic events, presenting major challenges for overburdened healthcare economics for these patients. Consequently, approaches to induce tolerance in the brain against ischemia have gained new momentum in clinical and experimental studies. However, mechanisms of ischemic preconditioning (IPC) have been primarily studied in gray matter (GM), despite white matter (WM) injury and axon dysfunction being critical components of clinical deficits observed in stroke patients. Moreover, most in vivo models of IPC performed in rodents consist of short…
