New susceptibility locus for atherosclerotic stroke
A recent genome-wide association study in patients with ischemic stroke demonstrates that common variants in the histone deacetylase 9 gene are associated with atherosclerotic stroke. The discovery originates from a collaborative effort involving ISD investigators.
Inhaled nitric oxide for the treatment of stroke
A study from ISD’s Laboratory of Experimental Stroke Research (Prof. N. Plesnila) in press at Circulation Research shows that inhalation of nitric oxide (NO) preserves blood flow and rescues brain tissue in mice subjected to cerebral ischemia. These results may pave the way for a novel therapeutic concept for patients with ischemic strokes.
