Study finds why COVID-19 accelerates stroke risk ANI | Updated: Dec 19, 2020 10:49 IST
Los Angeles (California) [US], December 19 (ANI): A study led by University of California- Los Angeles Health Sciences (UCLA) used 3D-printed blood vessels to explain how COVID-19 virus increases the risk of stroke.
Researchers did a study about the running fluid spiked with a COVID-19-like protein through a 3D-printed model of the arteries of a patient who had suffered a stroke.
Although COVID-19 was first identified by its severe respiratory symptoms, little is known about how the virus increases the risk for stroke.
To enhance the findings, UCLA researchers used a 3D-printed silicone model of blood vessels in the brain to mimic the forces generated by blood pushing through an artery that is abnormally narrowed, a condition called intracranial atherosclerosis. They showed that as those forces act on the cells lining the artery, and increase the produc
