Abstract:
The neurogenic response in ischemic brain to growth factors is the net result of cell division and cell survival in specific regions of the brain. To increase the cell number, these physiologic processes should be active. Hence, when growth factors are infused into the brain, they might stimulate survival, cell division, or both to enhance neurogenesis. The end result is the interplay of all the endogenous factors with the infused exogenous factors. It is essential to understand the growth factors and their regulators that are expressed after ischemia if one is to pharmacologically enhance neurogenesis. It seems that a combinational therapy of factors or their inhibitors may provide powerful therapeutic potential for enhancing stroke-induced neurogenesis and restoring the damaged tissue to function.
