The Role of the ACE2/MasR Axis in Ischemic Stroke: New Insights for Therapy
Ischemic stroke remains the leading cause of neurologically based morbidity and mortality. Current stroke treatment is limited to two classes of FDA-approved drugs: thrombolytic agents (tissue plasminogen activator (tPA)) and antithrombotic agents (aspirin and heparin), which have a narrow time-wind...

Ischemic stroke remains the leading cause of neurologically based morbidity and mortality.

Consequently, stroke therapies that can suppress deleterious effects of ischemic injury are desperately needed. Angiotensin converting enzyme-2 (ACE2) has been recently suggested to beneficially influence experimental stroke outcomes by converting the vasoconstrictor Ang II into the vasodilator Ang 1–7.
