Efferocytosis: A promising pathway for stroke recovery

Caption

Ischemic stroke triggers the death of neurons, leading to impaired neurological functioning and reduced patient recovery. Efferocytosis occurs through various cell signaling mechanisms. Exploring the role of efferocytosis in stroke recovery and detecting potential targets can aid in drug discovery, to reduce brain damage and promote healing.
