The research team examined how myeloid cells can also facilitate repair by clearing debris and promoting tissue remodeling during the early stages of repair. The study showed that a transcription factor, hypoxia-inducible factor, which the Ratan lab has been studying for years, marks myeloid cells that are associated with good long term recovery.

The chemical element selenium, an essential nutrient for humans and other animals, protects the brain after a stroke and may be a basis for future stroke therapies, according to a study from scientists at Burke Neurological Institute and Weill Cornell Medicine.
A team of scientists have discovered that selenium, a micronutrient, can help boost the antioxidant system on the heels of stroke in animals and suggests that a similar treatment could be used to limit brain damage in patients. Stroke is a leading cause of disability and death in the United States, occurring once every 40 seconds.
