This book provides a comprehensive overview of the latest research in the role of non-neuronal cells - astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, endothelial cells, pericytes, microglia, and other immune cells in ischemic brain injury and long-term recovery. In these cases, neurodegeneration and brain repair are controlled in a sophisticated system, incorporating interactions between different cell types and cellular systems. Also explored are the therapeutic strategies that target non-neuronal responses after stroke and their translational potentials.

Discusses the roles of astrocytes, microglia, oligodendrocytes, endothelial cells, pericytes, and other immune cells Explores which therapies hold promise for translation to humans Only comprehensive overview of non-neuronal cells in ischemic stroke and recovery Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
