Necroptosis, a novel type of programmed cell death, is involved in stroke-induced ischemic brain injury. Although studies have sought to explore the mechanisms necroptosis, its signaling pathway has not yet be completely elucidated. Thus, we used oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) and middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) models mimicking stroke (IS) conditions investigate necroptosis. We found that OGD MCAO induced local ischemia neurological deficit, while zVAD-fmk (zVAD, an apoptotic...
