Unveiling the Therapeutic Potential of Non-Coding RNAs in Stroke-Induced Tissue Regeneration

Abstract

Abstract Stroke is a major contributor to mortality and impairment on a global scale, with few effective treatments available. Aberrant expression of various non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) has been identified after stroke onset, impacting neurogenesis, angiogenesis, apoptosis, and autophagy. The roles and mechanisms of ncRNAs hold great promise for future ischemic stroke treatments, as they could modify stroke impact and course on a well-controllable molecular level. Exploring the functions and underlying mechanisms of ncRNAs after stroke has the potential to unveil novel therapeutic targets for the treatment of stroke and may also pave the way toward novel and more precise diagnostic options for stroke and stroke outcomes. This review emphasizes the importance of ncRNAs in the treatment of stroke and their potential as therapeutic targets.
