Recent research on changes in genomic regulation and protein expression in intracerebral haemorrhage

Intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) is a devastating form of stroke that accounts for roughly 10% of all strokes and the effects on those that survive are often debilitating. To date, no suitable therapy exists. Recent work has examined alterations in gene and protein expression after ICH. The focus of this review is to outline the current knowledge of changes in genetic and protein expression after ICH and how those changes may affect the course of brain injury. Both animal and human data are reviewed.
