Post-stroke injection protects the brain in preclinical study
January 6, 2025
Northwestern University researchers led by Sam Stupp, with co-corresponding author Dr. Ayush Batra of Feinberg School of Medicine, developed an injectable nanomaterial that protects the brain after ischemic stroke. In preclinical studies, the therapy crossed the blood–brain barrier, reduced brain damage, and showed no toxicity when delivered after blood flow was restored.
