Description
Lujia Tang and fellow editors introduce a research collection on protecting the brain after stroke reopening in a 2026 editorial. Clot removal and dissolving drugs have improved stroke care, yet many patients recover poorly because restored flow itself injures tissue through toxicity, oxidation, barrier leaks, and inflammation. The collection reframes that injury as a treatable continuum.
Contributions span risk sorting, early spotting of harm, and cell-protecting treatments from clinic to lab. Outcomes after successful reopening still vary widely, from a minority harmed in mild stroke to over half in some thrombectomy groups, which argues for personal risk sorting rather than one-size care. Shielding brain cells should stand beside reopening as a core aim, the editors argue.
