Endogenous THBD (Thrombomodulin) Mediates Angiogenesis in the Ischemic Brain.

CONCLUSIONS: Endogenous THBD acts as a protective factor in the brain during ischemic stroke and enhances vessel diameter and proliferation. These previously unknown properties of THBD could offer new opportunities to affect vessel function after ischemia and thereby improve stroke outcome.
