Background: Ischemic stroke disproportionately impacts the elderly with a higher risk and poor repair. Current therapeutic options are constrained by narrow time windows, strict contraindications, and suboptimal efficacy in older patients, leaving a critical unmet clinical need. Hypoxia-based interventions exert preclinical neuroprotective effects, yet the effects and underlying mechanisms of intermittent hypoxia (IH) in elderly patients with ischemic ...
