Advances of "help-me" signals from neurons after focal brain injuries / 中国脑血管病杂志

ABSTRACT

Injured neurons will send "help-me" signals to nearby cells after focal injuries. These neurons will be protected by proliferation of neural progenitors, transformation of microglia, and proliferation of endothelial cells. This article provides an in-depth review of the latest research on endogenous " helpme" signals after neuronal injury, especially after cerebral ischemia injury was made, suggesting findings of endogenous "help-me" signals after neuronal injury and its usage as a novel target for intervention may provide new ideas and methods for neuroprotection researches.
