Systematic Review of the Differential Effects of TGF‐β1 in Ischemic and Hemorrhagic Preclinical Stroke Models | Journal of the American Heart Association

Really pleased to share my latest paper - a systematic review of the differental role of TGF-β1 in stroke. Some really interesting findings where TGF-β1 improved outcome in ischemic stroke but worsened it in haemorrhagic. Please do read and share!
