Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), expressing markers for stemness (CD34), immaturity (CD133) and endothelial maturity (KDR), may determine the extent of post-stroke vascular repair. Given the prevalence of stroke in elderly, this study explored wh...

Cerebral edema in intracerebral hemorrhage: pathogenesis, natural history, and potential treatments from translation to clinical trials (2023)
Journal Article
Krishnan, K., Campos, P. B., Nguyen, T. N., Tan, C. W., Chan, S. L., Appleton, J. P., …Bath, P. M. (2023). Cerebral edema in intracerebral hemorrhage: pathogenesis, natural history, and potential treatments from translation to clinical trials. Frontiers in Stroke, 2, Article 1256664. https://doi.org/10.3389/fstro.2023.1256664

Acute intracerebral hemorrhage is the most devastating stroke subtype and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Poor prognosis is associated with primary brain injury from the presenting hematoma, and despite advances in clinical tr...

Ageing constitutes the biggest risk factor for poor health and adversely affects the integrity and function of all the cells, tissues, and organs in the human body. Vascular ageing, characterised by vascular stiffness, endothelial dysfunction, increa... Read More about Vascular Ageing: Mechanisms, Risk Factors, and Treatment Strategies.

TNF-α evokes blood-brain barrier dysfunction through activation of Rho-kinase and neurokinin 1 receptor (2023)
Journal Article
Gao, X., & Bayraktutan, U. (2023). TNF-α evokes blood-brain barrier dysfunction through activation of Rho-kinase and neurokinin 1 receptor. Immunobiology, 228(5), Article 152706. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.imbio.2023.152706

Ischaemic stroke, accompanied by neuroinflammation, impairs blood–brain barrier (BBB) integrity through a complex mechanism involving activation of both RhoA/Rho kinase/myosin light chain-2 and neurokinin 1 receptor (NK1R). Using an in vitro model of... Read More about TNF-α evokes blood-brain barrier dysfunction through activation of Rho-kinase and neurokinin 1 receptor.

Substance P reversibly compromises the integrity and function of blood-brain barrier (2023)
Journal Article

Background Substance P (SP) plays a role in vasodilatation and tissue integrity through its receptor, neurokinin 1 (NK1R). However, its specific effect on blood-brain barrier (BBB) remains unknown. Methods The impact of SP on the integrity/funct... Read More about Substance P reversibly compromises the integrity and function of blood-brain barrier.

Evaluation of Endothelial Progenitor Cell Characteristics as Clinical Biomarkers for Elderly Patients with Ischaemic Stroke (2023)
Journal Article
Rakkar, K., Othman, O. A., Sprigg, N., Bath, P. M., & Bayraktutan, U. (2023). Evaluation of Endothelial Progenitor Cell Characteristics as Clinical Biomarkers for Elderly Patients with Ischaemic Stroke. Stem Cell Reviews and Reports, 19(6), 1856-1869. https://doi.org/10.1007/s12015-023-10544-y

Ageing impairs endothelial function and predisposes the person to ischaemic stroke (IS). Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) repair endothelial damage and induce post-ischaemic neovascularisation. Given the prevalence of IS in older population, this... Read More about Evaluation of Endothelial Progenitor Cell Characteristics as Clinical Biomarkers for Elderly Patients with Ischaemic Stroke.
