Deans' stroke musings: NCATS Supports Research on Newly Discovered Type of Cell-to-Cell Communication

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.

NCATS Supports Research on Newly Discovered Type of Cell-to-Cell Communication

Something for your doctor to insist upon. Have your doctor contact NCATS - National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences - and ask where the study is that will determine how neurons recruit neighboring neurons to enable neuroplasticity. Without that knowledge our doctors and therapists have no basis for their stroke exercise protocols.

NCATS Supports Research on Newly Discovered Type of Cell-to-Cell Communication

On August 13, NIH announced $17 million in awards for the Extracellular RNA (exRNA) Communication program. This trans-NIH initiative is designed to advance research in a newly discovered type of cell-to-cell communication that may play a role in the diagnosis and treatment of various health conditions.
Through 24 awarded research projects, scientists will explore basic exRNA biology and develop tools and technologies that apply new knowledge about exRNA to the research, diagnosis and treatment of diseases, including many types of cancer, bone marrow disorders, heart disease, Alzheimer’s disease and multiple sclerosis. NCATS will administer 18 of these awards, through which researchers will develop biomarkers from exRNA and design new ways to use exRNA in treatments.
The program is supported by the NIH Common Fund and led by a trans-NIH team that includes NCATS; the National Cancer Institute; the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute; the National Institute on Drug Abuse; and the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke.
