Today the uc irvine branch of the ucla uci alpha stem cell clinic announces its participation in a new clinical research study that aims to improve function in people with chronic disability as a result of an ischemic stroke a stroke that occurs when blood flow to the brain is blocked such as by a clot.
Stem cell therapy for stroke clinical trials.
In this clinical trial we want to target the population that would be most likely to benefit.
Stroke is the leading cause of permanent disability in the u s striking nearly 800 000 people each year according to the centers for disease control and prevention.
Our preclinical experiments showed that the effects of treatment aren t as prominent after delay dr.
