The Role of microRNA in Ischemic and Hemorrhagic Stroke

Background: Stroke is the second leading cause of death worldwide. Understanding of gene expression dynamics could bring new approaches in diagnostics and therapy of stroke. Small noncoding molecules termed "microRNA" represent the most flexible network of gene expression regulators.
