Pathogenic Mechanism Analysis Services for Stroke

Most approved therapies for many diseases have been developed in response to their underlying pathophysiology. Therefore, understanding disease pathophysiology is critical to the successful development of clinically useful drugs. Ace Therapeutics specializes in the etiology and pathophysiology of stroke, including molecular and cellular changes. In addition, we can help you discover potential targets in the pathogenesis of stroke that have not yet been explored. Each study can be tailored to the client's needs.

Introduction to Stroke Pathophysiology

Stroke is the second leading cause of death and a major cause of disability worldwide. In stroke, disruption of cerebral blood flow leads to disruption of ATP synthesis and energy deprivation, as well as impaired ionic homeostasis and acid-base imbalance. All of these dysfunctions lead to neuropathological changes in the brain. Progress has been made in unraveling the pathogenesis and mechanisms of stroke, including cellular excitotoxicity, mitochondrial dysfunction, neuroinflammation, blood-brain barrier damage, and cell death processes. In addition, there are mechanistic links between cerebral ischemia, innate and adaptive immune cells, intracranial atherosclerosis, and gut microbiota in altering the brain's response to ischemic injury. Several signaling pathways are activated during these pathological transitions, and their targeted modulation may serve as a potential therapeutic strategy for stroke.
