1. Multi-target neuroprotective mechanisms of epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) in stroke: from molecular pathways to nanomedicine delivery and clinical translation

Stroke ranks among the leading global causes of mortality and permanent disability. Its secondary brain injury arises from multiple interrelated pathological cascades, including oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, disrupted autophagy-apoptosis balance, excitotoxicity, iron dyshomeostasis, and blood-brain barrier (BBB) dysfunction. Although intravenous thrombolysis and mechanical thrombectomy have greatly improved the efficacy of acute reperfusion therapy, effective neuroprotective regimens for secondary brain injury remain scarce.
