by Juntendo University Research Promotion Center GPR30 in brain microvasculature responds to bicarbonate, and its deficiency protects against ischemia-reperfusion injury, reducing neurological deficits and blood-brain barrier disruption. These findings offer insights into developing innovative clinical approaches for ischemic stroke.

by University of Gothenburg Credit: CC0 Public DomainResearchers from from the University of Gothenburg have developed an ultra-sensitive blood test that reflects brain damage after acute ischemic stroke—and also predicts functional outcome. This is a discovery that is expected to be of great significance in the future. The findings are described in the journal Neurology. The...
by Sichuan International Medical Exchange and Promotion Association The Tat-SIRT5-CTM peptide specifically blocked the interaction of SIRT5 with ANXA1, led to SIRT5 degradation and thereby inhibiting SIRT5-mediated desuccinylation of ANXA1, which in turn alleviated microglia-induced neuroinflammation, and eventually improved the survival of neurons subjected to cerebral ischemia and reperfusion injury.

by Tokyo Medical and Dental University The neurons around an injured brain region will play major roles in promoting functional recovery through nervous system development, synapse organization, and remyelination; however, the molecular mechanisms triggering such a broad range of neural repair after brain injury remained unknown. Our study demonstrated that the secretion of PLA2G2E from perilesional...

by Swiss National Science Foundation Credit: CC0 Public Domain An international clinical study led by the Inselspital, Universitätsspital Bern, and the University of Bern has shown that anticoagulation (blood thinning) can be started earlier in people with a stroke and atrial fibrillation than previously recommended in the guidelines. Earlier treatment could reduce the risk of having another stroke...
