Importance of microRNAs by mRNA-microRNA integration analysis in acute ischemic stroke patients

Acute ischemic stroke is common, and severe forms of the condition are becoming notably widespread due to the aging population.1 Patients with severe ischemic stroke are at high risk of mortality or disability due to neurological deficits, requiring long-term care; neurological deficits are typically associated with increased medical costs.1, 2 Recently, the treatment of severe hyperacute ischemic stroke has been established due to the introduction of recombinant tissue plasminogen activators3,4 and endovascular treatment,5 –7 but only selected population can benefit from these treatments.
