Call for Papers for a Special Issue of Translational Stroke Research: Endothelial Dysfunction in Cerebrovascular Disease

Guest editor: Nabil Alkayed (The Ohio State University)

SUBMISSION DEADLINE: August 1, 2012

The cerebrovascular endothelium plays an important role in determining risk and outcome from cerebrovascular disease, including stroke, subarachnoid hemorrhage and traumatic brain injury. The special issue will review novel mechanisms, methodology and therapeutic strategies targeting brain vascular endothelium.

Translational Stroke Research covers basic, translational, and clinical studies. The Journal emphasizes novel approaches in order to help translate scientific discoveries from basic stroke research into the development of new strategies for prevention, assessment, treatment, and repair after stroke and other forms of neurotrauma.

Translational Stroke Research focuses on translational research and is relevant to both basic scientists and physicians, including but not restricted to neuroscientists, vascular biologists, neurologists, neuroimagers, and neurosurgeons. The Journal provides an interactive forum for the dissemination of original research articles, review articles, research reports, letters, comments, and research protocols, in stroke and stroke related areas. Its distinguished editorial board is made up of leading stroke researchers and physicians from North America, Europe, and Asia.

Call for Papers for a Special Issue of Translational Stroke Research: the Peripheral Immune Response in Acute Injuries of the CNS

Guest editor: Keith Pennypacker (University of South Florida)

SUBMISSION DEADLINE: June 1, 2012

This issue will focus on the role that the peripheral immune system plays in delayed cellular death after injury to the CNS. Understanding these cellular and humeral responses will permit targeting specific signaling pathways for pharmaceutical intervention to reduce cellular degeneration without augmenting the post-injury immune suppression.
