1 Introduction Ischemic stroke results from a sudden reduction in cerebral blood flow. It has afflicted ∼25% people over their lifetime, accounting for almost 5% of all disability-adjusted life-years and 10% of all deaths worldwide.[1] Current treatment is reperfusion during the acute stage of stroke. There is no effective treatment beyond the acute stage. There is, therefore, an unmet need to develop a treatment for ischemic stroke.
