Src deficiency or blockade of Src activity in mice provides cerebral protection following stroke

Article Abstract:

The pathophysiology of cerebral ischemia appears to be regulated by Src kinase where it influences vascular endothelial growth factor-mediated vascular permeability, thus helping repair neuronal damage following stroke. Suppression of Src activity appears to minimize brain injury.

Targeting acute ischemic stroke with a calcium-sensitive opener of maxi-K potassium channels

Article Abstract:

Research presented concerns the biochemistry of ischemic strokes, focusing on how high levels of intracellular calcium poses a risk to neurons. The benefits of a neuroprotective therapy that uses maxi-K potassium channels to regulate intracellular calcium are addressed.

Statistical Data Included, Potassium channels, Neurons, Calcium in the body, Calcium (Nutrient)
