Blood Biomarker for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Chronic Inflammation in the Brain in the Days and Weeks after Stroke
This invention comprises a method of identifying chronic inflammation in the day(s), weeks, or months after a stroke by measuring matrix metalloproteinase-12 (MMP-12) in a patient to determine whether therapeutic intervention is required to help immune cells process lipid debris after stroke to reduce secondary neurodegeneration. MMP-12 is a protein...
