Article Abstract
Ischemic stroke is a major cause of death and disability, intensely demanding innovative and accessible therapeutic strategies. Approaches presenting a prolonged period for therapeutic intervention and new treatment administration routes are promising tools for stroke treatment. Here, we evaluated the potential neuroprotective properties of nasally administered human adipose tissue mesenchymal stem cell (hAT-MSC)-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) obtained from healthy individuals who underwent liposuction. After a single intranasal EV (200 µg/kg) administered 24 h after a focal permanent ischemic stroke in rats, a higher number of EVs, improvement of the blood-brain barrier, and re-stabilization of vascularization were observed in the recoverable peri-infarct zone, as well as a significant decrease in infarct volume. In addition, EV treatment recovered long-term motor (front paws symmetry) and behavioral impairment (short- and long-term memory and anxiety-like behavior) induced by ischemic stroke. In line with these findings, our work highlights hAT-MSC-derived EVs as a promising therapeutic strategy for stroke.

Timing Matters: How Daily Rhythms Affect Remote Ischemic Postconditioning Therapy for Stroke.
Stroke
September 2025
Departments of Radiology and Neurology, Neuroprotection Research Laboratories, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston (E.L., R.M.P., K.H., E.H.L., E.E.).
Background: Despite promising preclinical results, remote limb ischemic postconditioning efficacy in human stroke treatment remains unclear, with mixed clinical trial outcomes. A potential reason for translational difficulties could be differences in circadian rhythms between nocturnal rodent models and diurnal humans.
Methods: Male C57BL/6J mice were subjected to transient focal cerebral ischemia and then exposed to remote postconditioning during their active or inactive phase and euthanized at 24 hours and 3 days.

Background: The estimated glucose disposal rate (eGDR) is a validated surrogate marker of insulin resistance. However, its association with stroke and dementia in nondiabetic populations remains insufficiently investigated.
Methods: This prospective cohort study included nondiabetic participants from the UK Biobank.
Major ABO-Incompatible Platelet Transfusions Are Associated With Brain Ischemia After Intracerebral Hemorrhage.
Stroke
September 2025
Department of Neurology, Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University, New York. (F.C.P., M.R., M.S., A.K., S.G., S.A., S.P., J.C., D.J.R.).
Background: Major ABO-incompatible platelet transfusions are associated with poor intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) outcomes, yet drivers for this relationship remain unclear. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) ischemic lesions after ICH are neuroimaging biomarkers of secondary brain injury and are associated with poor outcomes. Given that ABO-incompatible platelet transfusions can induce immune complex formation, thrombo-inflammation, and endothelial barrier disruption, factors that could exacerbate cerebral ischemia, we explored whether major ABO-incompatible platelet transfusions are risk factors for ischemic lesions on brain MRI after ICH.

Background: Previous studies have suggested that the associations between ambient air pollution and atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (ASCVD) differ by genotype. A genome-wide approach provides a more comprehensive understanding of this relationship on a genomic scale.
Methods: Using data from ≈300 000 UK Biobank participants, we conducted a genome-wide interaction analysis on 10 745 802 variants.

Stroke
September 2025
Department of Neurology, Yale School of Medicine, New Haven, CT (L.H.S.).
Preclinical stroke research faces a critical translational gap, with animal studies failing to reliably predict clinical efficacy. To address this, the field is moving toward rigorous, multicenter preclinical randomized controlled trials (mpRCTs) that mimic phase 3 clinical trials in several key components. This collective statement, derived from experts involved in mpRCTs, outlines considerations for designing and executing such trials.
