Grantee in the News: Eleni Markoutsa co-authors new research on how aged stem cells can promote neurological recovery in Molecular Therapy

On August 8, 2021, Molecular Therapy published new research co-authored by AFAR grantee Eleni Markoutsa, PhD, which reveals how primed stem cells can promote neurological recovery and inhibit memory loss, motor-loss, and anxiety-like behavioral dysfunctions.

Dr. Markoutsa is a 2019 Irene Diamond Fund/AFAR Postdoctoral Transition Award recipient, and is a Research Instructor in the Department of Internal Medicine at the University of South Florida.

Read the research, “Extracellular vesicles derived from inflammation-educated stem cells reverse brain inflammation- Implication of miRNAs Alternative: MicroRNAs in Extracellular Vesicles of Educated Stem Cells Attenuate Brain Inflammation,” here.
