Cellular senescence as a biomaker and therapeutic target in ischaemic stroke

Description

Brain cell senescence remains unexplored as a target for neuroprotection in stroke. The aim is to characterise brain cell senescence associated with ageing and stroke in a rat model, and to reposition a senolytic drug, Navitoclax, as an effective neuroprotectant for use as an adjunct to endovascular treatment in ischaemic stroke. The influence of gender will also be analysed.
