NEUROLOGY Clot Buster's Tardy Twin Could Aid in Stroke Recovery A protein called uPA could help neurons recover beyond the early hours after an acute stroke, when doctors often work to dissolve a blood clot with the drug tPA. uPA has been tested in the lab and in some countries in stroke treatment. Released over several hours, it could help brain cells recover from injuries caused by the loss of blood flow. Read more... |

CARDIOLOGY More Cells = Better Outcomes in Cell Therapy for Heart Attack In a clinical trial using patients' own bone marrow cells to improve recovery after heart attack, patients who received more of the sorted cells, called endothelial progenitor cells, had fewer adverse cardiac events and more positive cardiac markers. With this new knowledge, researchers will conduct studies to refine use of the higher cell dosage. Read more... |

INFECTIOUS DISEASES Fecal Transplants Heal Intestinal Infections by Upping Microbial Diversity Frequent antibiotics can wipe out beneficial intestinal microbes, leading to chronic, drug- resistant diarrheal infections like C. difficile. Fecal transplants are proving effective in restoring intestinal balance and improving health. Researchers are studying the gut microbiome after fecal transplants to measure the precise effects leading to recovery. Read more... |
