Tissue regeneration in stroke: cellular and trophic mechanisms.

Abstract

Stroke is a leading cause of morbidity in the developed world and results in chronic disability in many cases. The literature related to the critical factors that regulate tissue self-regeneration in stroke is still limited, which restricts effective therapy. However, optimism in this area has been provided by recent research. The mechanisms involved in tissue regeneration and the mode of the participation of stem/progenitor cells and soluble protein neurotrophic factors in this process may yield a more complete understanding of the nature of stroke. This review summarizes the current understanding of both cellular and humoral issues with a particular emphasis on how these issues contribute to tissue regeneration in stroke.
