The Role of Sphingolipid Metabolism and Neuron Death in Ischemic Stroke: A New Perspective from Bioinformatics [PDF]

Brain and Behavior
Background Ischemic stroke (IS) is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide, but traditional risk factors do not fully explain its pathophysiology. Neuronal death in IS is influenced by multiple pathways, including sphingolipid metabolism, which
