Ischemic Stroke Model Development Services

Are you currently facing long drug development cycles and challenges in translating preclinical findings to clinical success in stroke research? Our ischemic stroke models development services at Creative Biolabs help you accelerate drug discovery and de-risk clinical development through advanced, highly predictive in vivo models and comprehensive assessment platforms.

Ischemic stroke, characterized by cerebral blood flow interruption, is a devastating neurological event. Developing effective therapies necessitates accurate preclinical models that recapitulate human disease complexities. These models are crucial for dissecting pathophysiological mechanisms, identifying therapeutic targets, and evaluating novel neuroprotective and neurorestorative strategies. Our expertise at CBL, refined over two decades, provides the foundation for bridging the translational gap from bench to bedside.

Ischemic Stroke Models

CBL offers a robust portfolio of in vivo ischemic stroke models, each carefully chosen to address specific research questions and enhance translational relevance.

Focal Ischemia Models

These models mimic the most common form of human stroke, resulting from the occlusion of a specific cerebral artery:

Models	Description
Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion (MCAO) Models	Transient MCAO: Achieved via an intraluminal filament, temporarily occluding the MCA followed by reperfusion. This model is critical for studying reperfusion injury, the optimal therapeutic window, and the effects of thrombolytic or neuroprotective agents. Our refined technique ensures consistent and reproducible infarcts in both cortical and striatal regions. Permanent MCAO: Involves sustained occlusion of the MCA, leading to a larger, more extensive infarct. This model is invaluable for investigating long-term neuroprotective or restorative strategies for irreversible occlusions. Our precise surgical methods minimize variability.
Photothrombosis Models	Induced by localized intravascular photo-oxidation using a photosensitive dye and focal irradiation. These models offer advantages such as minimal invasiveness, simple methodology, high reproducibility, and low mortality. However, a key consideration is the lack of a distinct ischemic penumbra, which differs from typical clinical ischemic stroke. Despite this, we customize protocols to target specific brain regions.
Embolic Models	Utilizing autologous blood clots or microspheres to create more clinically relevant embolization, these models are particularly valuable for investigating thrombolysis strategies and the characteristics of clot formation and lysis.

Global Ischemia Models

These models are designed to simulate widespread cerebral hypoperfusion, relevant for conditions like cardiac arrest or severe systemic circulatory failure:

Models	Description
Four-Vessel Occlusion (4-VO) and Two-Vessel Occlusion (2-VO) Models	These established models induce global cerebral ischemia, allowing for the study of widespread neuronal vulnerability, particularly in the hippocampus. They are pertinent for investigating cognitive deficits and neurodegeneration following global hypoxic-ischemic events.
