Subset of White Blood Cells Found to Protect against Ischemic Stroke in Mice - Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News

A new study in mice by neurologists at the University of Pittsburgh demonstrates a novel subset of CD8+ regulatory-like T cells, or CD8+TRLs, act as “first responders” to stroke.

Researchers are looking for the best ways to improve current therapies and advance research in ischemic stroke. Ischemic stroke occurs when a blood clot blocks or narrows an artery leading to the bra… [+2552 chars]
