Targeting the Role of Lipoprotein (a) in Stroke.

Currently, there is little research examining the importance of small molecule Lp(a) distribution and risk for stroke, both on a first-case and recurrent basis. Understanding the role of Lp (a) in stroke requires investigating its molecular mechanisms particularly the key microRNA (s) components that control its expression and function (s). Therefore, the main objective of this review is to discuss the broader link between Lp(a) and stroke and to identify opportunities for future investigation and potential research prospects on the role of Lp (a) in stroke.
