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.

Optical excitation of organic semiconductors as a highly selective strategy to induce vascular regeneration and tissue repair

How close is your doctor to using this in your recovery?

Abstract

Therapeutic neovascularization represents a promising strategy to rescue the vascular network and restore organ function in cardiovascular disorders (CVDs), including acute myocardial infarction, heart failure, peripheral artery disease, and brain stroke. Endothelial colony forming cells (ECFCs), which are mobilized in circulation upon an ischemic insult, are commonly regarded as the most suitable cellular tool to achieve therapeutic neovascularization. ECFCs can be genetically or pharmacologically manipulated to enhance their vasoreparative potential by boosting specific pro-angiogenic signalling pathways. However, optical stimulation represents the most reliable approach to control cellular activity because of its high selectivity and unprecedented spatio-temporal resolution. Herein, we discuss a novel strategy to drive ECFC angiogenic activity in ischemic tissues by combining geneless optical excitation with photosensitive organic semiconductors. We describe how photoexcitation of the conducting polymer poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl), also known as P3HT, stimulates extracellular Ca2+ entry through Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) channels upon the production of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in the cleft between the nanomaterial and the cell membrane. H2O2-induced TRPV1-dependent Ca2+ entry stimulates ECFC proliferation and tube formation, thereby providing the proof-of-concept that photoexcitation of organic semiconductors may offer a reliable strategy to stimulate ECFCs-dependent neovascularization in CVDs.
