Protease-independent action of tissue plasminogen activator in brain plasticity and neurological recovery after ischemic stroke Neuroscience
In this study, we investigated the role of tPA on primary neurons in culture and on brain recovery and plasticity after ischemic...

Tissue plasminogen activator promotes white matter integrity and functional recovery in a murine model of traumatic brain injury Neuroscience
Recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) is a Food and Drug Administration-approved thrombolytic treatment for ischemic stroke. tPA is also naturally expressed in glial and neuronal cells of the brain, where it promotes axon outgrowth and synaptic plasticity. However, there are conflicting reports of harmful versus neuroprotective effects of tPA in...

Development of the Trevo ProVue Retriever for intracranial clot removal in acute ischemic stroke
It is estimated that 15 million people worldwide have a stroke each year. Of the estimated 795,000 strokes that occur in the United States annually, the majority are ischemic strokes resulting from an obstruction within a vessel supplying blood to the brain. The treatment goal for these patients is to restore blood flow as quickly as possible. Increasingly, endovascular treatments that interact directly with the clot are being pursued as options. Receiving U.S. Food and Drug Administration clearance in 2012, the Trevo® Retriever is a stent‐like structure to be deployed at the site of an occlusion to allow the occluding ...

Rivaroxaban: a novel oral anticoagulant for the prevention and treatment of several thrombosis‐mediated conditions
The development of rivaroxaban (XARELTO®) is an important new medical advance in the field of oral anticoagulation. Thrombosis‐mediated conditions constitute a major burden for patients, healthcare systems, and society. For more than 60 years, the prevention and treatment of these conditions have been dominated by oral vitamin K antagonists (such as warfarin) and the injectable heparins. Thrombosis can lead to several conditions, including deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, myocardial infarction, stroke, and/or death. Prevention and treatment of thrombosis with an effective, convenient‐to‐use oral anticoagula...

VWF linkage and GWAS Genetics
The plasma glycoprotein von Willebrand factor (VWF) exhibits fivefold antigen level variation across the normal human population determined by both genetic and environmental factors. Low levels of VWF are associated with bleeding and elevated levels with increased risk for thrombosis, myocardial infarction, and stroke. To identify additional genetic determinants of...
