    Despite of high research efforts, ischemic stroke is the leading cause of adult disability worldwide, with enormous social and economic impact. To decrease the devastating impact of ischemic stroke on society, the researchers continue to seek strategies to achieve better functional recovery in stroke victims. This article reviews in detail the actual stage of research effort to develop new strategies in stem cells field, as well as stem cells delivery time course in closed relation with delivery route, stem cells origin, and the local microenvironment. In addition, ischemic stroke occurs in older people with comorbidities that may limit benefit and many preclinical studies did not take into account this. However, sustained research funding is mandatory to allow neuroscientist to develop and test new ways to improve the economic impact of stroke consequences on society. .. View More»
