Current AQP research: therapeutic approaches to ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke

摘要

The role of aquaporins(AQPs)in the formation of cerebral edema after stroke:Stroke can be classified into either ischemic or hemorrhagic based on their etiological mechanism.Cerebral edema development often accompanies both ischemic infarct and intracerebral hemorrhage(ICH).Cerebral edema is differentiated according to their underlying mechanism and time course:cytotoxic and vasogenic.
