Background Randomized clinical trials have demonstrated that endovascular thrombectomy reduces functional disability in patients with large ischemic stroke; arterial collateral status might be used to select these patients for endovascular thrombectomy. Purpose To investigate whether arterial collateral status modifies the treatment effect of endovascular thrombectomy in patients with large ischemic stroke. Materials and Methods The Efficacy and Safety of Thrombectomy in Stroke with Extended Lesion and Extended Time Window (TENSION) trial was a prospective, multicenter, randomized study investigating participants with acute large ischemic stroke due to anterior circulation large-vessel occlusion.

Vascular dementia (VaD) is a white matter ischemic disease and the second-leading cause of dementia, with no direct therapy. Within the lesion site, cell-cell interactions dictate the trajectory towards disease progression or repair. To elucidate the underlying intercellular signaling pathways, a VaD mouse model was developed for transcriptomic and functional studies.
