The mechanisms and function of neuronal lipid particle release during ischemic stroke
EF 2019-20
Résumé
Stroke is the third leading cause of death in Canada. After a stroke, changes take place inside brain cells that cause them to die.
Treatments given as soon as possible are the most effective way to prevent brain cells from dying. However, even with current treatments, most stroke patients will experience severe brain damage and disability. We need to better understand the changes that occur within brain cells that cause their death. If we can understand what causes cells to die following stroke, we can design new treatments to prevent brain damage and disability
