Organ-on-a-chip model helps explore underlying pathways shared by stroke and dementia

Stroke is the second main cause of death globally, and a major cause of disability. Around 15 million people worldwide suffer a stroke each year, and rates are climbing, with the number of strokes in Europe set to increase by 1.5 million per year by 2025 – due in large part to the aging population.
