Stroke: Macrophages migrate from the blood
(University of Bonn) Macrophages are part of the innate immune system and essential for brain development and function. Using a novel method, scientists from Jena University Hospital, the University of Bonn and the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (USA) succeeded in visualizing macrophages that were formed in the bone marrow. This technology enabled to observe that shortly after a stroke, numerous macrophages that had migrated from the blood begin to attack dead and adjacent healthy brain tissue.

Kessler researchers test trunk-strengthening program for hemiplegia post stroke
(Kessler Foundation) Although poor trunk control after stroke is associated with longer hospital stays, increased falls, and poorer function, little research has been done. 'This pilot study enables us to test a trunk-strengthening protocol using the AllCore360 º in individuals with hemiplegia to examine underlying neuromuscular mechanisms and measure effects on posture, balance, and walking ability,' explained Dr. Pilkar. 'If preliminary findings are promising, further studies of this protocol may be warranted.'
