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.

Curcumin promotes neurogenesis of hippocampal dentate gyrus via Wnt/β-catenin signal pathway following cerebral ischemia in mice

In mice so your hospital is responsible for getting research done in humans.  After that they need to have a protocol that will migrate those new neurons to where they are needed.

Curcumin promotes neurogenesis of hippocampal dentate gyrus via Wnt/β-catenin signal pathway following cerebral ischemia in mice

Highlights

Curcumin ameliorates acute cerebral ischemia-induced cognitive dysfunction in mice.

Curcumin promotes hippocampal NSCs proliferation and differentiation into neurons.

Curcumin promotes hippocampal neurogenesis through Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

Abstract

Objectives

To investigate whether curcumin promotes hippocampal neurogenesis in the cerebral ischemia (CI) mice via Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

Methods

Male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into groups: sham operation group (Sham), cerebral ischemic group (CI), curcumin treatment group (50, 100 mg/kg/d, i.p.) and curcumin (100 mg/kg/d) + DKK1 (a blocker of Wnt receptor, 200 ng/d, icv) group. CI was induced by bilateral common carotid arteries occlusion (BCCAO) for 20 minutes. The Morris water maze test was conducted to detect spatial learning and memory. Immunofluorescence staining was used to examine the proliferation and differentiation of immature neurons in the hippocampal dentate gyrus. The proteins involved in neurogenesis and Wnt signaling pathway were examined using Western blot assay.

Results

Curcumin significantly alleviated cognitive deficits induced by CI. Curcumin dose-dependently increased the proliferation of neural stem cells and promoted the differentiation and maturation of newly generated neural cells into neurons. Curcumin also increased the expression of proteins involved in neurogenesis (including Ngn2, Pax6 and NeuroD 1) and the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. Moreover, the forenamed effects of curcumin were abolished by pretreatment with DKK1, a blocker of Wnt receptor.

Conclusion

Curcumin promotes hippocampal neurogenesis by activating Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway to ameliorate cognitive deficits after acute CI.
