What Is Stroke
Stroke is a classic geriatric disease. Each year, more than 795,000 people in the United States suffer a stroke. Of these, about 610,000 are first strokes, while 185,000 occur in patients who have had a stroke before. Stroke is considered the third leading cause of death and a significant cause of long-term disability and cognitive impairment. Although research into stroke has been ongoing for decades, reperfusion with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA) remains the only FDA-approved drug for treating stroke. Although the incidence of stroke has declined and survival has improved over the past 20 years, the absolute number of strokes occurring, stroke survivors, related deaths, and the overall global stroke burden continue to increase each year. Therefore, it is urgent to accelerate the understanding of the injury mechanisms of stroke and to facilitate the development of new therapies for stroke. Ace Therapeutics aims to provide a comprehensive service for basic research and drug development in stroke. Reference: What Is Stroke
