Using integrative multiomics, a new study has shed light on the aetiology of ischaemic stroke. By probing the mechanisms underlying stroke, such approaches could aid the development of therapies and improve risk prediction and stratification, with the ultimate aim of developing personalized preventive and therapeutic strategies.
