Akt Is a Molecular Target for Signal Transduction Therapy in Brain Ischemic Insult
Growth factors including insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) promote cell survival in ischemic brain injury. Stimulation of IGF-1 receptor coupled with tyrosine kinase activates phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and subsequently, protein kinase B (Akt) in hippocampal neurons. Here we introduce a new ap...
