A stroke is the rapidly developing loss of brain function(s) due to disturbance in the blood supply to the brain. This can be due to ischemia caused by thrombosis or embolism or due to a hemorrhage. As a result, the affected area of the brain is unable to function, leading to inability to move one or more limbs on one side of the body, inability to understand or formulate speech, or inability to see one side of the visual field.

[News] Adult Stem Cell "Beads" are Used in the Treatment of Stroke
Imagine a high-tech sachet the size of a tea-bag, filled with very small beads, and each bead in turn contains thousands of adult stem cells. Then imagine that each adult stem cell has been individually bioengineered to produce a drug that is specifically designed to treat stroke. Although such a therapy may have originally began as the stuff of imagination, it is now a reality.

[News] Adult Stem Cells Treat Stroke Patients in Clinical Trial
After suffering a stroke on March 25th, 61-year-old Roland "Bud" Henrich arrived at the hospital too late to be given tPA (tissue plasminogen activator), the only previously existing treatment for ischemic stroke. He therefore became the first person to be enrolled in a clinical trial in which autologous adult stem cells are used for the treatment of stroke.

[News] What is stroke and can stem cells help?
Stroke is caused by a blockage of the blood supply to a region of the brain (ischaemic stroke) or when a blood vessel in the brain bursts, spilling blood into the spaces surrounding brain cells (haemorrhagic stroke).
