Study Spots Potential Stroke Drugs
Using a novel screening technology, Duke University Medical Center researchers have shown that drugs called cardiac glycosides can protect brain cells from death after stroke in laboratory models, and that the drugs are effective even if delivered six hours or more after the onset of stroke conditions.
"This discovery is exciting because it may lead to interventions to prevent or lessen the amount of brain damage suffered after stroke," said Donald C. Lo, Ph.D., director of the Center for Drug Discovery and associate professor of neurobiology at Duke, and primary investigator on the study
