Injectable Treatment Shows Promise in Stroke Recovery

WHY IT MATTERS

This breakthrough treatment could potentially lead to new therapeutic options for stroke patients, improving recovery outcomes and quality of life.

What happened

Researchers at Duke University have developed an injectable scaffold that helps the brain rebuild after a stroke. In a study on mice, the treatment enabled the growth of new blood vessels, supported nerve regrowth, and improved movement. The treatment works by recruiting the body's own immune cells, including neutrophils, which can switch from causing damage to promoting recovery under the right conditions.
