I am impressed that a graduate student would take on migrating cells to damaged brain sites. Only 99 pages long, quiz your researcher/doctor on the main points in here.

ABSTRACT
Microglia, immune cells of the central nervous system, activate in response to pathophysiological stimuli. One of their reactive phenotypes is to migrate to site of injury where they could have either beneficial or detrimental effects. However, little is known regarding the mechanisms underlying microglial migration and how they traverse the unique extracellular environment in brain tissue to reach their destination. Our laboratory first discovered that microglia express structures called podosomes, which can adhere to as well as degrade extracellular matrix. In this study, I further characterize microglial podosomes, and show that they associate with Iba1, Orai1 and calmodulin, proteins not yet observed in podosomes of other cell types. I also present evidence that podosome formation depends on Ca2+ and its entry through store-operated Ca2+ channels. The findings in this thesis contribute to a better understanding of podosome dynamics and their probable roles in microglia migration.
This picture was so cool.

Use the labels in the right column to find what you want. Or you can go thru them one by one, there are only 29,112 posts. Searching is done in the search box in upper left corner. I blog on anything to do with stroke.DO NOT DO ANYTHING SUGGESTED HERE AS I AM NOT MEDICALLY TRAINED, YOUR DOCTOR IS, LISTEN TO THEM. BUT I BET THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET YOU 100% RECOVERED. I DON'T EITHER, BUT HAVE PLENTY OF QUESTIONS FOR YOUR DOCTOR TO ANSWER.
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.
