Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of ischemic stroke management has witnessed significant advances in recent years, with improved diagnostic tools and therapeutic options. However, the heterogeneity of ischemic stroke and the complex interplay of various factors continue to pose challenges in achieving optimal outcomes, and this remains a major global health challenge.
This Special Issue explores the multifaceted nature of ischemic stroke pathophysiology by integrating basic science research, translational studies, and clinical evidence. We aim to deepen our comprehension of the complex molecular mechanisms underlying ischemic stroke pathogenesis, such as oxidative stress, inflammation, and excitotoxicity. By identifying novel therapeutic targets, we can develop innovative treatments that address these mechanisms and potentially mitigate the damage caused by stroke. Furthermore, we seek to translate research findings into improved clinical practises for patients with ischemic stroke. These therapies may encompass neuroprotective agents, anti-inflammatory drugs, and strategies to enhance brain plasticity.
We invite submissions from researchers and professionals to share their latest findings and insights on this important topic.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
