Excerpt
This article was written to acknowledge the scientific achievement of Dr. Justin A. Zivin, the originator of the rabbit embolic stroke model and investigator responsible for the “translational stroke research” that led to the NINDS rt-PA trial and eventual approval of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) for the treatment of acute ischemic stroke 20 years ago. In 1984–1985, the term “translational stroke research” did not exist, nor did this journal bearing the name Translational Stroke Research. Nevertheless, over the years, the rabbit embolic stroke model has been integral in the development and testing of novel therapies, and the model remains important for translational stroke therapy development. Translational Stroke Research has become an important means of disseminating advances in basic and translational stroke research and will be integral in future stroke therapy discovery. …
