Neuroprotective Therapies Capable of Ameliorating Ischemic Injury in Post-Thrombectomy Care

Vignesh Subramanian, Class of 2024 Figure 1: A thrombectomy is a surgical procedure aimed at removing blood clots lodged in an artery of the brain. A stroke is a medical emergency in which blood flow to the brain is disrupted. Strokes may be ischemic (lacking blood supply to brain tissue due to a blocked artery) or hemorrhagic (involving bleeding into the brain tissue due to … Continue reading Neuroprotective Therapies Capable of Ameliorating Ischemic Injury in Post-Thrombectomy Care

Enhanced mRNA Gene Therapy for Critical Limb Ischemia

Jorge Pincay ‘20 Critical limb ischemia (CLI) is a cardiovascular condition characterized by severely narrowed arteries resulting from the buildup of plaque. This narrowing of the arteries  significantly reduces blood flow to the hands, feet, and legs and may lead to amputation of the affected limbs. Most patients suffering from CLI need to undergo some form of a revascularization procedure in order to combat this … Continue reading Enhanced mRNA Gene Therapy for Critical Limb Ischemia
