Japanese researchers publishing in Aging have described how improving the AMPK metabolic pathway improves outcomes in a rat model of stroke. Targeting metabolism directly This paper begins with a look back at previous research on the focus of this study, 5′-adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK). This signaling molecule is described here as 'evolutionarily conserved', meaning...

Showing yet again that sleep is a serious matter, scientists have reported that short sleep duration, snoring, and long naps are linked to a significantly elevated risk of acute stroke [1]. Debilitating and deadly Stroke, an acute condition in which the blood supply to a part of the brain is interrupted, is one of the...

Researchers publishing in Aging have found that there is a correlation between the APOE4 gene and poor outcomes after ischemic stroke. An allele with a long and sordid history The Relationship Between ApoE and Alzheimer'sAlzheimer's disease is the most typical form of dementia. It is a progressive disease that begins with mild memory loss, leads...

Publishing in Aging, a team of Chinese researchers has provided evidence showing a relationship between systemic inflammation and prognosis after a stroke. Stroke is a deadly and common affliction As the researchers point out, strokes are the leading cause of death in China, with strokes caused by a loss of blood supply (ischemic strokes) being...

Researchers have been able to achieve substantial recovery of cellular and organismal activity in pigs that had been dead for a full hour [1]. When is it too late? Advances in resuscitation have already moved the boundaries of life and death, making it possible to revive a person several minutes after the heart stops beating....

Researchers publishing in GeroScience have found that carotid artery stenosis, a consequence of hypertension, is linked to a lack of blood flow in the eyes. A disease that restricts blood flow to the brain Carotid artery stenosis (CAS) is a dangerous condition that is strongly associated with stroke [1]. It occurs when plaque build-up occludes...
