Summary

Cell death after cerebral ischemia and reperfusion

Millions die annually from ischemic brain damage caused by stroke, subarachnoid hemorrhage, head trauma, shock, and postischemic injury after resuscitation from cardiac arrest. Many thousands of others either die or suffer permanent neurological impairment after surgical procedures that carry a risk for inducing cerebral hypoxia/ischemia. Neurological morbidity and mortality are primarily the consequences of necrotic, apoptotic, and other forms of neuronal and nonneuronal cell death. The most effective neuroprotective interventions must therefore target mechanisms that contribute to each of these pathways.
