Rational Basis for Clinical Translation in Stroke Therapy (eBook, PDF)

Redaktion: Micieli, Giuseppe; Amantea, Diana

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

During the last decades, numerous promising drugs that provided neuroprotection in the laboratory setting failed to translate into the clinic because of their toxicity or lack of efficacy. However, these apparently disappointing results have provided valuable lessons to improve research strategies and enhance their clinical translation. In this scenario, by bringing together the experience developed by stroke researchers and clinicians, the book provides a precious tool for improving stroke patients' treatment and management.
