Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

Cellular expression of functional chemokine receptor CCR5 and CXCR4 in human embryonic neurons

More neuron pathfinding, Ask your researcher about this.

Abstract

In the present study we analysed expression of the chemokine receptors CCR5 and CXCR4 in human embryonic neurons. Both receptors were detected in neurons from primary cultures by immunofluorescence and confocal laser microscopy analysis. Both CCR5 and CXCR4 were mainly located inside the cell in the neuronal cell body and processes. In addition, neurons synthesised CCR5 and CXCR4 transcripts, as demonstrated by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Stimulation with the CCR5 and the CXCR4 agonists increased [Ca2+]i in embryonic neurons, indicating that CXCR4 and CCR5 were functional at the neuronal surface. The inhibitory effect of pertussis toxin demonstrated that Giα protein is involved in chemokine receptor activation. The fact that chemokine receptors are expressed at embryonic stage in neurons reinforces the idea that chemokines might be cues for neuron pathfinding during brain ontogeny.
