Winning Stroke
This study in a mouse model uncovers the molecular mechanisms underlying how exercise benefits recovery following a stroke. Cells of the immune system called regulatory T cells are found to be key – they're mobilised by exercise and their IL-10 molecular signalling pathway reduces neuronal hyperexcitability found in the stroke-affected region of the brain.
