Prof. Wang Fengshan & Zhang Xinke's Group Unveils the Roles of miR-125a-5p in hNSC-EVs in Regulating Cerebral Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury
Ischemic stroke is the second leading cause of death worldwide, in which ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI) plays a pivotal role in brain dysfunction and long-term disability. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have recently been proven to be a promising therapeutic approach for CIRI. However, the mechanisms underlying the neuroprotective effects of EVs remain unclear. The group of Prof. Wang Fengsha...
