Recent studies have also shown that FTX participates in the apoptosis of neurons or cardiomyocytes [36, 37] and regulates the angiogenesis in stroke [38] or hypoxia/reoxygenation-induced cardiomyocyte injury [39], suggesting that FTX may be involved in the apoptosis of adult cells and the repair of tissue injury. The gene discussed is FTX; the disease is stroke disorder.
