Stroke induced disturbances in glymphatic clearance: implications for brain repair? [ 2018 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: A/Pr Frederick Walker (Principal investigator) ,  Prof Michael Nilsson ,  Prof Neil Spratt

Brief description We have made a remarkable discovery that the ability of the brain to clear waste proteins is significantly impaired after stroke. This may have important implications for development of dementia and milder changes in thinking late after stroke. We already have some clues regarding potential mechanisms. In this project we will further investigate these mechanisms and their effects on the brain and develop our understanding of potential ways to reverse the clearance problem to develop treatments.
