Inhibition of early steps of platelet adhesion to the ischemic endothelium and the subendothelial matrix may offer a novel and safe treatment strategy in acute stroke.
Our data indicate that the selective blockade of key signaling pathways of platelet adhesion and aggregation has a different impact on stroke outcome and bleeding complications. Inhibition of early steps of platelet adhesion to the ischemic endothelium and the subendothelial matrix may offer a novel and safe treatment strategy in acute stroke.
Kleinschnitz et al. (Tue,) studied this question.
