Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) are stem cells that can repair injured blood vessels through neovascularisation. This is achieved through secretion of growth factors and endothelial maturation. EPC numbers and function have been studied to determ...

Hyperglycaemia perturbs blood-brain barrier integrity through its effects on endothelial cell characteristics and function (2024)
Journal Article
Hashmat, A., Ya, J., Kadir, R., Alwjwaj, M., & Bayraktutan, U. (2024). Hyperglycaemia perturbs blood-brain barrier integrity through its effects on endothelial cell characteristics and function. Tissue Barriers, Article 2350821. https://doi.org/10.1080/21688370.2024.2350821

Breakdown of blood-brain barrier (BBB) represents a key pathology in hyperglycemia-mediated cerebrovascular damage after an ischemic stroke. As changes in the level and nature of vasoactive agents released by endothelial cells (ECs) may contribute to...

The Role of Stem Cells as Therapeutics for Ischaemic Stroke (2024)
Journal Article
Ya, J., Pellumbaj, J., Hashmat, A., & Bayraktutan, U. (2024). The Role of Stem Cells as Therapeutics for Ischaemic Stroke. Cells, 13(2), Article 112. https://doi.org/10.3390/cells13020112

Stroke remains one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. Current reperfusion treatments for ischaemic stroke are limited due to their narrow therapeutic window in rescuing ischaemic penumbra. Stem cell therapy offers a promising al...
