摘要:
Research into neuroprotective mechanisms has at its heart the goal of developing new therapeutic strategies to treat patients. For example, the compositions and induction strategies disclosed herein have use for acute injuries such as stroke or trauma, and would be extremely useful in treating patients undergoing cardiac bypass surgery, neurosurgery or other surgical cohorts where ischemia is a risk. Further, patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage, transient ischemic attacks, soldiers at risk for blast injury or patients suffering from chronic neurodegenerative diseases would also benefit from enhanced neuronal survival based upon the techniques and compositions disclosed herein. In addition, protecting against cell death by, for example, interfering with PAR polymer signaling via the compositions and processes disclosed herein, offers new therapeutic strategies for the treatment of neurologic disorders.
