miR-221 Exerts Neuroprotective Effects in Ischemic Stroke by Inhibiting the Proinflammatory Response

Ischemic stroke is a common neurological disorder worldwide and is associated with a high probability of permanent disability.2 Unfortunately, our response to stroke is still extremely limited. Thus, since the exploration of novel and effective strategies is still the focus and is a well-studied topic in stroke treatment, recent research has focused on elucidating the molecular mechanisms of stroke, especially as those mechanisms pertain to novel treatment targets. Emerging experimental data have confirmed that microRNAs (miRNAs) are essential regulatory factors in ischemic stroke and other neurological diseases.
