New Immunotherapy May Improve Stroke Recovery
A recent study conducted by neurologists from the School of Medicine at the University of Pittsburg has discovered that immune cells that amass in the brain following a stroke help boost neural functions, as observed in mice models. The research, which was reported in the “Immunity” journal, showed that regulatory T cells, which are specialized immune cells, help boost functional recovery following a stroke. The researchers stated that boosting the regulatory T cell levels through the use of an antibody complex treatment enhanced cognitive and behavioral functions in mice following a stroke. This was in comparison to the mice that…
