Ischemic Stroke and the Biological Hallmarks of Aging.

Abstract

With the advent of an aging population, the study of aging and related research has been increasingly prominent, focusing on how to fully understand and delay aging-a key concern for contemporary medical professionals. Stroke is an acute focal neurological deficit. Globally, ischemic stroke accounts for only 60-70% of all strokes, meanwhile, it is the second leading cause of death. With the introduction of the concept of biomarkers of ageing, the research of ischemic stroke or acute brain injury in relation to these biomarkers has remained fragmented. In this review, we aim to consolidate the current evidence, highlighting the intricate relationship between ischemic stroke and aging-related hallmarks during its occurrence. By providing a comprehensive overview, we hope to offer researchers a broader perspective on how acute injury mechanisms intertwine with aging. We hope to present a new viewpoint and a more complete evaluation framework for future research and exploration in the field of aging.
