Artery Targeted Photothrombosis to Better Model Human Stroke and Forelimb Impairment
28 January 2020
This article is brought to you by:
Researchers have developed a new method to better model human stroke which uses artery-targeted photothrombosis. This shows a clear improvement on traditional methods by creating a larger penumbra for a longer amount of time while maintaining the practical results of the traditional model.
