CRC1123 “Atherosclerosis” approved for 4 more years

June 2022 – The Collaborative Research Center CRC1123 “Atherosclerosis - Mechanisms and Networks of Novel Therapeutic Targets” was awarded a 3rd funding period until 2026. C. Weber (IPEK), Spokesperson; J. Bernhagen (ISD),Vice-Spokesperson. The cluster encompasses 20 projects. ISD scientists participate in projects A2 (Hundelshausen/Bernhagen), A3 (Bernhagen/Kapurniotu), B3 (Asare, Dichgans), B11 (Liesz/Sager).CRC1123 aims to elucidate the mechanisms and molecular networks driving atherosclerosis and further the identification of therapeutic target candidates >>

Complicated Carotid Artery Plaques and Risk of Recurrent Ischemic Stroke or TIA

May 2022 – Complicated nonstenosing carotid artery plaques (CAPs) are an under-recognized cause of stroke. Applying high-resolution contrast-enhanced carotid MRI to patients with acute ischemic stroke, ISD investigators found complicated CAP ipsilateral to acute ischemic anterior circulation stroke to be associated with an increased risk of recurrent ischemic stroke or TIA. Carotid plaque imaging identifies high-risk patients who might be suited for inclusion into future secondary prevention trials >>
