About this Research Topic
Reviews in Cellular Neuropathology will publish high-quality scholarly review papers on key topics in Cellular Neuropathology. It aims to highlight recent advances in the field, whilst emphasizing important directions and new possibilities for future inquiries that span clinical and preclinical neuroscience research. We anticipate the research presented will promote discussion in the Cellular Neuropathology community that will translate to best practice applications in clinical, public health, and policy settings.
Cerebral ischemia is one of the leading causes of death and disability around the globe. Since the brain is a highly metabolic organ that depends on continuous blood flow for its oxygen intake, permanent disability can occur after even brief interruptions of cerebral blood flow, secondary to both immediate and delayed brain cell death. Due to population growth and aging, disability from cerebral ischemia is predicted to be an increasing medical, financial, and social burden in coming years.
This Research Topic within the Cellular Neuropathology section aims to compile evidence on the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying cerebral ischemia. It welcomes full-length, mini or systematic review papers focused, but not restricted, to the following subtopics:
- Signaling pathways involved in cerebral ischemia.
- Cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying brain ischemia.
- Neonatal hypoxic cerebral ischemia
- Non-neuronal cells in the protection and recovery of brain function after ischemic injury
- Models to study neonatal and adult cerebral ischemia.
Keywords: cerebral ischemia, neonatal hypoxic ischemia, brain ischemia
Important Note: All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
