Vorticity‐Facilitated Platelet Aggregation: a High Expansion‐Ratio Stenotic Microfluidic Platform Unravels the Role of Complex Flow Dynamics in Arterial Thrombosis

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study reveals how vorticity—a swirling flow pattern—enhances platelet aggregation and thrombus formation in high‐shear conditions. Using a custom microfluidic model, it is shows that vorticity promotes vWF–GPIbα interactions and calcium signaling, providing new insights into thrombosis mechanobiology and informing safer blood‐contacting medical ...

Immunomodulation With Local, Sustained Delivery of Pituitary Adenylate Cyclase Activating Polypeptide Results in Improved Functional Recovery in Stroke‐Injured Mice

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
The tissue and functional benefits are demonstrated with local, sustained delivery of an anti‐inflammatory peptide, pituitary adenylate cyclase‐activating polypeptide (PACAP), for stroke treatment in a mouse model. Prolonged PACAP treatment modulated astrocyte and microglia toward pro‐reparative phenotypes, enhanced neuroprotection and preservation of ...

Exacerbation of Brain Injury by Post-Stroke Exercise Is Contingent Upon Exercise Initiation Timing

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2017
Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that post-stroke physical rehabilitation may reduce morbidity. The effectiveness of post-stroke exercise, however, appears to be contingent upon exercise initiation.
