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.

Lentivirally administered glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor promotes post-ischemic neurological recovery, brain remodeling and contralesional pyramidal tract plasticity by regulating axonal growth inhibitors and guidance proteins

Great, now we just need EXACT PROTOCOLS SO WE CAN DELIVER GDNF TO OUR BRAINS. When the fuck will you provide that answer? Since it will be never,  I'm looking here for clues, I'm not medically trained so don't do this on your own.

Lentivirally administered glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor promotes post-ischemic neurological recovery, brain remodeling and contralesional pyramidal tract plasticity by regulating axonal growth inhibitors and guidance proteins




Highlights

GDNF; improves Blood-Brain Barrier permeability in acute phase of brain injury.
improves functional recovery which is associated with microvascular and tissue remodeling in subacute phase of brain injury.
increases contralesional pyramidal tract plasticity.
regulates axonal outgrowth and repulsive guidance molecules.

Abstract

Owing to its potent longterm neuroprotective and neurorestorative properties, glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) is currently studied in neurodegenerative disease clinical trials. However, little is known about the longterm effect of GDNF on neurological recovery, brain remodeling and neuroplasticity in the post-acute phase of ischemic stroke. In a comprehensive set of experiments, we examined the effects of lentiviral GDNF administration after ischemic stroke. GDNF reduced neurological deficits, neuronal injury, blood-brain barrier permeability in the acute phase in mice. As compared with control, enhanced motor-coordination and spontaneous locomotor activity were noted in GDNF, which were associated with increased microvascular remodeling, increased neurogenesis and reduced glial scar formation in the peri-infarct tissue. We observed reduced brain atrophy and increased plasticity of contralesional pyramidal tract axons that crossed the midline in order to innervate denervated neurons in the ipsilesional red and facial nuclei. Contralesional axonal plasticity by GDNF was associated with decreased abundance of the axonal growth inhibitors brevican and versican in contralesional and ipsilesional brain tissue, reduced abundance of the growth repulsive guidance molecule ephrin b1 in contralesional brain tissue, increased abundance of the midline growth repulsive protein Slit1 in contralesional brain tissue and reduced abundance of Slit1's receptor Robo2 in ipsilesional brain tissue. These data indicate that GDNF potently induces longterm neurological recovery, peri-infarct brain remodeling and contralesional neuroplasticity, which are associated with the fine-tuned regulation of axonal growth inhibitors and guidance molecules that facilitate the growth of contralesional corticofugal axons in the direction to the ipsilesional hemisphere.
