Abstract
Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) has a multimodal neuroprotective profile and the cumulative preclinical data from numerous translational studies statistically confirmed the efficacy of G-CSF as a treatment option in ischemic stroke. G-CSF activates anti-apoptotic, antioxidative, and anti-inflammatory signaling pathways and stimulates angiogenesis and neurogenesis. In this review, we summarize the role of G-CSF and the corresponding signal transduction pathways regulated by G-CSF in neuroprotection and discuss its potential as a new drug for stroke treatment.
Keywords: Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor, neuroprotection, stroke, treatment.

Chalcogen-modified nucleic acid analogues
Chalcogen-modified nucleosides, nucleotides and oligonucleotides have been of great interest to scientific research for many years. The replacement of oxygen in the nucleobase, sugar or phosphate backbone by chalcogen atoms (sulfur, selenium, tellurium) gives these biomolecules unique properties resulting from their altered physical and chemical properties. The continuing interest in ...read more
