Conceptual diagram of multi-target manipulation of the dynamically evolving secondary injury cascade using combination therapy as illustrated on the temporal axis (t1-t5). Different drugs (e.g., D1-D5) act on their respective targets, i.e., on the specific injury mechanism, within the time windows (Δt1-5). The combined drug actions aim to broaden the therapeutic window of opportunity to achieve better treatment outcomes.
