Astrocyte signaling sheds light on stroke research

A Great stroke association would take this knowledge and create a stroke protocol for it. But we don't, so this will languish for 15-20 years.
Are you ok with that Dr. Sacco and Mr. Baranski?  I'm sure survivors aren't.

New research published in The Journal of Neuroscience suggests that modifying signals sent by astrocytes, our star-shaped brain cells, may help to limit the spread of damage after an ischemic brain stroke. The study in mice, by neuroscientists at Tufts University School of Medicine, determined that astrocytes play a critical role in the spread of damage following stroke.
