Hurdles Faced by Stroke Recovery



After a stroke, a new molecule in the brain blocks the formation of new connections amid neurons, identify researchers. In a mouse model, the UCLA researchers showed that blocking this molecule - called ephrin-A5 - induces axonal sprouting, that is, the growth of new connections between the brain's neurons, or cells, and as a result promotes functional recovery. If duplicated in humans, the identification of this molecule could pave the way for a more ...
