    Abstract Stroke was the 2nd leading cause of death and a major cause of morbidity. Unfortunately, there are limited means to promote neurological recovery post-stroke, but research has unearthed potential targets for therapies to encourage post-stroke neurogenesis and neuroplasticity. The occurrence of neurogenesis in adult mammalian brains, including humans, was not widely accepted until the 1990s. Now, adult neurogenesis has been extensively studied in human and mouse neurogenic brain niches, of which the subventricular zone of the lateral ventricles and subgranular zone of the dentate gyrus are best studied. Numerous other niches are under investigation for neurogenic potential. This review offers a basic overview to stroke in the clinical setting, a focused summary of recent and foundational research literature on cortical neurogenesis and post-stroke brain plasticity, and insights regarding how the meninges and choroid plexus have emerged as key players in neurogenesis and neuroplasticity in the context of focal cerebral ischemia disrupting the anterior circulation. The choroid plexus and meninges are vital as they are integral sites for neuroimmune interactions, glymphatic perfusion, and niche signaling pertinent to neural stem cells and neurogenesis. Modulating neuroimmune interactions with a focus on astrocyte activity, potentially through manipulation of the choroid plexus and meningeal niches, may reduce the exacerbation of stroke by inflammatory mediators and create an environment conducive to neurorecovery. Furthermore, addressing impaired glymphatic perfusion after ischemic stroke likely supports a neurogenic environment by clearing out inflammatory mediators, neurotoxic metabolites, and other accumulated waste. The meninges and choroid plexus also contribute more directly to promoting neurogenesis: the meninges are thought to harbor neural stem cells and are a niche amenable to neural stem/progenitor cell migration. Additionally, the choroid plexus has secretory functions that directly influences stem cells through signaling mechanisms and growth factor actions. More research to better understand the functions of the meninges and choroid plexus may lead to novel approaches for stimulating neuronal recovery after ischemic stroke.

    Abstract Ischemic stroke is a devastating health problem, affecting approximately 800,000 patients in the US every year, making it the leading cause of combined death and disability in the country. Stroke has historically been thought of as predominantly impacting men, however it is becoming increasingly clear that stroke affects women to a greater degree than men. Indeed, women have worse outcomes compared to men following ischemic stroke. Recent clinical advances have shown great promise in acute stroke therapy, with the use of mechanical endovascular thrombectomy (with and without recombinant tissue plasminogen activator; rtPA) greatly improving outcomes. This observation makes it clear that removal of clots and reperfusion, either mechanically or pharmacologically, is critical for improving outcomes of patients following acute ischemic stroke. Despite these promising advances, long-term neurological sequelae persist in the post-stroke population. This review focuses on mechanisms of thrombosis (clot formation) as it pertains to stroke and important sex differences in thrombosis and responses to treatment. Finally, we describe recent data related to new therapeutic approaches to thrombolysis, with a particular focus on von Willebrand Factor (vWF).

    Abstract Background: The discovery that short oligonucleotides, termed aptamers, can fold into three-dimensional structures that allow them to selectively bind and inhibit the activity of pathogenic proteins is now over 25 years old. The invention of the SELEX methodology heralded in an era in which such nucleic acid-based ligands could be generated against a wide variety of therapeutic targets.
    Results: A large number of aptamers have now been identified by combinatorial chemistry methods in the laboratory and moreover, an increasing number have been discovered in nature. The affinities and activities of such aptamers have often been compared to that of antibodies, yet only a few of these agents have made it into clinical studies compared to a large and increasing number of therapeutic antibodies. One therapeutic aptamer targeting VEGF has made it to market, while 3 others have advanced as far as phase III clinical trials.
    Conclusion: In this manuscript, we hope the reader appreciates that the success of aptamers becoming a class of drugs is less about nucleic acid biochemistry and more about target validation and overall drug chemistry.

    Abstract Although antiplatelet medications and anticoagulants are necessary for numerous cardiac comorbidities, prevention of stroke, and treatment and prevention of venous thromboembolic events, they pose a significant treatment dilemma in neurosurgical patients, particularly in the setting of intracranial hemorrhage or prior to emergent neurosurgical procedures. For the majority of current anticoagulation and antiplatelet therapies, no direct reversal agents exist; however, there are numerous strategies that can be used to reverse or mitigate their antithrombotic properties. This review provides a comprehensive summary of the latest antiplatelet and anticoagulant therapies and the role of emergency reversal prior to emergent neurosurgical procedures.
