Therapeutic effects of umbilical cord blood plasma in a rat model of acute ischemic stroke.
This study provides valuable insights into the development of a safe, effective, and cell-free strategy for the treatment of ischemic brain damage and a much-needed alternative for patients who are ineligible for thrombolytic therapy. PMID: 27816964 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Sub-acute systemic erythropoietin administration reduces ischemic brain injury in an age-dependent manner.
Authors: Thériault P, Le Béhot A, ElAli A, Rivest S Abstract Stroke is associated with neuroinflammation, neuronal loss and blood-brain barrier (BBB) breakdown. Thus far, recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator (rtPA), the only approved treatment for acute ischemic stroke, increases the risk of intracerebral hemorrhage and is poorly efficient in disaggregating platelet-rich thrombi. Therefore, the development of safer and more efficient therapies is highly awaited. Encouraging neuroprotective effects were reported in mouse models of ischemic stroke following administration of erythropoietin (EPO). However, ...
