Journal of neuroinflammation·2025

Growth factors show promise for stroke treatment, improving outcomes even days after the event. These agents promote brain repair and neurogenesis, offering new therapeutic avenues for stroke recovery.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Regenerative Medicine
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Current stroke treatments are limited due to rapid brain cell death.
  • Conventional neuroprotective strategies are often ineffective hours after ischemic events.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the therapeutic potential of growth factors in stroke treatment.
  • To investigate growth factors' ability to promote brain repair and functional recovery post-stroke.

Main Methods:

  • Review of recent studies on growth factor administration in animal stroke models.
  • Analysis of growth factor properties, including brain accessibility and neurogenic effects.

Main Results:

  • Growth factors demonstrate efficacy even when administered late after stroke onset.

  • Systemic administration allows several growth factors to reach the brain.
  • Growth factors are crucial for adult neurogenesis, aiding brain repair.

    • Conclusions:

    • Growth factors represent a promising therapeutic strategy for stroke.
    • Their ability to promote neurogenesis and brain repair offers potential for functional recovery.
