Treating strokes with chemistry -- Science360 Extra


Treating strokes with chemistry -- Science360 Extra

Co-editors Charlie and Jordan talk about a molecule that can inhibit an enzyme linked with the onset of stroke. The molecule -- developed by research teams at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and the National University of Singapore -- reduced the death of brain tissue by as much as 66 percent when given to a rat that had recently suffered a stroke.
