LSU Health New Orleans Discovers Potential New Rx Strategy for Stroke

Αmyloid β peptide–mediated damage

Research conducted at LSU Health New Orleans Neuroscience Center of Excellence reports that a combination of LSU Health-patented drug and selected DHA derivatives is more effective in protecting brain cells and increasing recovery after stroke than a single drug. The findings are published in Brain Circulation, available here.

Nicolas Bazan, MD, PhD, Boyd Professor, Professor of Neurology and Director of the Neuroscience Center of Excellence at LSU Health New Orleans School of Medicine, and Ludmila Belayev, MD, LSU Health New Orleans Professor of Neuroscience, Neurology, and Neurosurgery, discovered this novel therapeutic strategy for ischemic stroke using an experimental model

During an ischemic stroke, signals are produced from arriving blood white cells and primary brain immu...
