Abstract WP35: Neutrophil Extracellular Traps As a Biomarker for Delayed Cerebral Ischemia after Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

Stroke Journal

Following SAH, neutrophils cause vascular occlusion via neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) and NETs have been identified as a therapeutic target to prevent delayed cerebral ischemia in mice (DCI) with SAH. The findings of this study suggest NETs factors may be useful biomarkers to predict which aneurysmal SAH patients are at-risk for DCI.

Recombinant GDF11 Promotes Recovery in a Rat Permanent Ischemia Model of Subacute Stroke

Stroke Journal

Serum analysis revealed rGDF11 dose-dependent decreases in C-reactive protein and identified novel pharmacodynamic biomarkers and pathways associated with potential mechanisms of action of rGDF11.Conclusion:These Rats received single or multiple doses of rGDF11 (0.1-4 4 mg/kg) or vehicle 24-72 hours post-injury.

Abstract WP370: Platelet morphology but not coagulation markers predicts delayed cerebral ischemia after subarachnoid hemorrhage

Stroke Journal

Approximately 30% of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) patients who survive the rupture develop delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) 4 to 10 days following aSAH. Thus, we sought to investigate various biomarkers of platelets to identify which factors are predictive of patients at-risk for DCI.

Abstract 4113494: Gut Microbiota Modulation by Immunosuppression and Cardiac Cell Therapy in a Nonhuman Primate Ischemia/Reperfusion Model of Cardiac Regeneration

Circulation

To elucidate this relationship, we investigated gut microbiota dynamics in response to immunosuppression and cell therapy in a nonhuman primate (NHP) cardiac ischemia/reperfusion (IR) model, with controlled genetic, dietary, and environmental factors.

Abstract WP359: Increased CCL4 and CCL5 following Mechanical Thrombectomy: A Plasma Biomarker Study in Ischemic Stroke Patients

Stroke Journal

CCL4 and CCL5 may contribute to the post-ischemia reperfusion inflammatory response, potentially influencing outcomes after reperfusion therapies such as mechanical thrombectomy. CCL5 or RANTES (regulated onactivation,normalT-cellexpressed andsecreted) is also a chemokine secreted by T cells and monocytes and directly interacts with CCL4.
