Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Immunology
  • Pathophysiology

Background:

  • Cerebral ischemia, a common stroke type, involves impaired brain blood flow and complex pathophysiological changes.
  • Neuronal injury mechanisms are intricate, influenced by heterogeneous factors and comorbidities.
  • Non-neuronal cells, particularly microglia, are increasingly recognized for their roles in stroke.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review microglia-neuron-vascular interactions in acute and delayed cerebral ischemia.
  • To focus on recently explored microglia-related pathways influencing neuronal injury.
  • To highlight the therapeutic potential of modulating gliovascular processes.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review focusing on recent findings in cerebral ischemia and microglia function.
  • Analysis of microglia-neuron-vascular interactions.
  • Exploration of emerging pathways in stroke pathophysiology.

Main Results:

  • Microglia exhibit previously unrecognized roles in physiological processes during ischemia.
  • Microglia-neuron-vascular interactions significantly contribute to acute and delayed stroke pathologies.
  • Specific microglia-related pathways directly or indirectly shape neuronal injury.

Conclusions:

  • Modulating microglia-neuron-vascular interactions presents novel therapeutic opportunities for stroke.
  • Targeting gliovascular processes may enhance existing neuroprotective and flow restoration strategies.
  • Further research into microglia's multifaceted roles is crucial for neurological disorder treatment.
