Cell-Cell interactions in cerebral infarct pathogenesis: Molecular MR-Imaging and thrombocyte function

Summary

The interdisciplinary project B01 (Stoll/Nieswandt) takes advantage of novel MR contrast agents to visualize in-vivo the cellular and molecular processes involved in the development of cerebral infarcts. In a therapeutic approach we furthermore use pharmacological and transgenic mouse models to evaluate the role of platetets and coagulation factors during secondary infarct growth after middle cerebral artery occlusion.
