Preclinical Imaging Biomarkers for Postischaemic Neurovascular Remodelling

Figure 1

Ischaemic cascade. The cascade involves a series of events that follow ischaemic injury to the brain, such as that due to stroke. Eventually, this results in the softening or loss of brain tissue (i.e., encephalomalacia). BBB, blood-brain barrier; ATP, adenosine triphosphate.
