Novel antiplatelet drug is effective at treating heart attacks in mice, say researchers
The novel nanoparticle delivered Mp6 peptide was able to inhibit thrombosis and reduce inflammation without increasing the risk of bleeding in mice after heart attacks.
news
Novel complement inhibitor improves ischemic stroke recovery in mice, say researchers
Administering a novel complement protein blocker (B4Crry) alongside reperfusion therapy improved cognitive and motor recovery in a model of ischemic stroke.
news
B cells may travel to remote areas of the brain to improve stroke recovery
Research has found that after stroke in mice, B cells migrate to far regions of the brain that control motor functions, indicating their role in recovery.
news
Retinoid X receptor could be targeted to improve recovery from stroke
Scientists conducted a pre-clinical trial in mice and showed that activating the retinoid X receptor (RXR) enhances the activity of phagocytic immune cells and aids recovery from stroke.

New study proves e-ASPECTS could predict benefit of mechanical thrombectomy
A new study shows e-ASPECTS correlates with and is a predictor of outcome after mechanical thrombectomy. With mechanical thrombectomy gaining ground as a possible treatment for patients suffering from acute ischemic stroke, it is even more important to select those patients who can derive the most benefit.
