At the scene of ischemic brain injury: Is PARP a perp?

Dennis W. Choi

Center for the Study of Nervous System Injury and Department of Neurology Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, Missouri 63110, USA

New findings suggest that PARP may be a perpetrator of brain injury following ischemic insult (pages 1089−1095).
