LSU Health New Orleans Discovery May Complement Recovery from Ischemic Stroke
A study led by Nicolas Bazan, MD, PhD, Director of the LSU Health New Orleans Neuroscience Center, pinpointed which cells within specific areas of the brain are involved in post-stroke response and found that the delivery of precursors of Elovanoids, a class of molecules that synchronize cell-to-cell communication and neuroinflammation/immune activity in response to injury, improved neurological deficit in an experimental model of ischemic stroke. The research team also identified cascades of gene responses as an integrated inflammatory signaling landscape, shedding light on potential new therapeutic avenues.
