Sticky situation inside blood vessels can worsen stroke damage
AUGUSTA, Ga. (Jan. 15, 2020) – A stroke appears to create a sticky situation inside the blood vessels of the brain that can worsen damage days, even months later, scientists report. They have found that after stroke, exosomes — nanosized…

Brain model offers new insights into damage caused by stroke and other injuries
A University at Buffalo neuroimaging researcher has developed a computer model of the human brain that more realistically simulates actual patterns of brain impairment than existing methods. The novel advancement represents the union of two established approaches to create a digital simulation environment that could help stroke victims and patients with other brain injuries by serving as a testing ground for hypotheses about specific neurological damage.
Exosomes promote remarkable recovery in stroke
Scientists present brain-imaging data for a new stroke treatment that supported full recovery in swine, modeled with the same pattern of neurodegeneration as seen in humans with severe stroke.
Exosomes promote remarkable recovery in stroke
It’s been almost a quarter century since the first drug was approved for stroke. But what’s even more striking is that only a single drug remains approved today. In a publication appearing this month in the journal Translational Stroke Research…
