Dose is key🗝️. Higher doses of AAV (1uL of 4 x 10^12 GC/mL) consistently induced ventriculomegaly and permissive tropism in neonates, while moderate doses (1uL of 1 x 10^12 GC/mL) didn't. Study led by Luke Liu, with co-authors Ania Noguera, Ryan Humphries, and Blake Zhou.

Clearance of intracranial debris by ultrasound reduces inflammation and improves outcomes in hemorrhagic stroke models - @StanfordRad https://t.co/BludN4qtBd

[Stanford Knight Initiative for Brain Resilience @BrainResilience]

“We’re making a helmet people can wear that delivers ultrasound to the brain, and we plan to initiate clinical testing of this protocol in the next few months,” said Raag Airan.

With Knight Initiative support, his lab plans to test it on people soon.

We are thrilled to receive support from the @StanfordBrain Wu Tsai Institute to start a new collaboration with @HeilshornSarah and her team!

[Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute @StanfordBrain]

Congrats to the Seed Grant awardees! Projects include efforts to develop new tools for delivering drugs to the brain; study the role of neuropeptide molecules in pain & brain signaling; and probe the links between genetics, inflammation, & Alzheimer’s.
