Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomal miR-193b-5p reduces pyroptosis after ischemic stroke by targeting AIM2

Ischemic stroke is a frequently occurring cerebrovascular disease (CVD) linked to high mortality, disability, and incidence rates, and the second factor causing global mortality41,3. There are two common sources of embolism in ischamic strokes: large artery atherosclerosis and small artery atherosclerosis. Ischemic stroke can be treated clinically with thrombolytic therapy4. Although ischemic stroke is treatable, post-cerebral ischemia blood reperfusion frequently induces inflammation, oxidative stress (OS) or additional unfavorable events that may exacerbate brain injury20,24.
