However, the role of inflammation has remained elusive in the context of the progression of ischemic strokes and their sequelae. The following publications provide evidence of how AIM2 (absent in melanoma 2), the inflammasome, and double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) sensing contribute to the aforementioned process. Most importantly, the mechanisms
