Congrats to all involved, including Physiology's Drs. Tymianski and Mayor-Nunez! 🧠👏
After #stroke the drug nerinetide helps protect the brain from damage. However, it's ineffective if given after the clot-busting drug alteplase. A team from @KBI_UHN found that switching the order they're given may allow the brain-protecting drug to work > stm.sciencemag.org/content/1…
