Are central IGF-I Receptors in the Brain Instrumental to Neuroprotection by Systemically Injected IGF-I in a Rat Model for Ischemic Stroke?
Systemically injected rhIGF-I passes the blood-brain barrier and protects neurons via IGF-I receptors in the brain in rats with an ischemic stroke.
Genetic variants in ERCC2 and ERCC4 may provide further survival prediction in addition to TNM staging system of esophageal cancer, which is more evident in the patients with early disease status.
