Disease Focus: Stroke
New Chemokine-Derived Therapeutics Targeting Stem Cell Migration
This proposal describes a sharply-focused, timely, and rigorous effort to develop new therapies for the treatment of injuries of the Central Nervous System (CNS). The underlying hypothesis for this proposal is that chemokines and their receptors (particularly those involved in inflammatory cascades) actually play important roles in mediating the directed migration of human neural stem […]
Embryonic-Derived Neural Stem Cells for Treatment of Motor Sequelae following Sub-cortical Stroke
A stroke kills brain cells by interrupting blood flow. The most common “ischemic stroke” is due to blockage in blood flow from a clot or narrowing in an artery. Brain cells deprived of oxygen can die within minutes. The loss of physical and mental functions after stroke is often permanent and includes loss of movement, […]
Facebook Live: Stem Cells and Stroke
CIRM hosted a special ‘Ask the Expert’ Facebook Live event on May 31st, 2018, to discuss the latest progress in the development of stem cell-based treatments for Stroke. Dr. Gary Steinberg, chair of neurosurgery at Stanford University, talked to us about his work in helping reverse the damage caused by a stroke, even for people who […]
