An Ultrasmall Cu/Cu2O Nanoparticle-Based Diselenide-Bridged Nanoplatform Mediating Reactive Oxygen Species Scavenging and Neuronal Membrane Enhancement for Targeted Therapy of Ischemic Stroke

Ischemic stroke is one of the major causes of death and disability worldwide, and an effective and timely treatment of ischemic stroke has been a challenge because of the narrow therapeutic window and the poor affinity with thrombus of the thrombolytic agent. In this study, rPZDCu, a multifunctional nanoparticle (NP) with the effects of thrombolysis, reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging, and neuroprotection, was synthesized based on an ultrasmall Cu
