Stroke is one of the leading causes of long-term disability worldwide and often results in impairments in movement, speech and cognition. While rehabilitation helps patients regain some lost functions ...

Every 40 seconds, someone in the United States has a stroke. For survivors of the most common type of stroke, called an ischemic stroke, only about 5 percent fully recover. Most others suffer from ...

Following an injury, the brain tries to repair the damaged nerve fibers . Unfortunately, the repair process often succeeds only partially, meaning many patients experience lasting damage to their ...

A 3D-printed hologram paired with a single ultrasound transducer opened the blood-brain barrier at multiple sites in ...

Stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is disrupted. Without oxygen- and nutrient-rich blood, brain cells start to die. Recovery after stroke depends on a process called axonal sprouting, in which ...

UCLA researchers have identified a molecule that, after a stroke, signals brain tissue to form new connections to compensate for the damage and initiate repairs to the brain. The finding could ...

Biomedical engineers at Duke University have developed an injectable biomaterial that helps transform the cavity left behind after a stroke caused by a blood clot into an environment more supportive ...
