When someone has a stroke \u2014 a leading worldwide cause of death and disability \u2014 time is of the essence. Almost nine out of 10 cases are ischemic strokes, caused by restricted blood flow in the brain, and the current gold-standard treatment that breaks up blood clots must be delivered within four and a half hours of symptoms appearing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
