Advances in immunology of ischemic stroke

Abstract

The pathophysiological process of ischemic stroke is a complex inflammatory process involving multiple factors (genetic factors, immune factors, etc.). Its inflammatory response is multiphasic, with both pro⁃inflammatory and anti⁃inflammatory reactions. Moreover, the changes and effects of inflammatory cells and cytokines are time⁃dependent, thus exerting neurodestruction or neuroprotection. This article reviews the research progress of ischemic stroke⁃related immunology in recent years.
