Using various rodent models of stroke, we are examining the physiological and biochemical processes leading from decreased blood flow after arterial occlusion to irreversible brain injury, as well as the repair mechanisms for restoring function following such damage. A major focus of our work centers on oxidative stress and changes in gene expression after cerebral ischemia causing necrosis and apoptosis. Successful neuroprotective strategies currently being pursued include gene transfer techniques, the use of mild brain hypothermia and various pharmocological agents. Methods for enhancing neurogenesis and neurotransplantation of stem cells are utilized to repair injured brain after experimental stroke. |
