Researchers at the University of Toledo found that Ginkgo biloba extract EGB761 can promote the repair and regeneration of ischemic brain damage.
The research of Ginkgo biloba extract in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease has been carried out to the stage of clinical trials, but few studies have examined its repairing effect on ischemic brain injury. The research team led by Professor Zahoor A. Shah from the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Toledo said that Ginkgo biloba extract EGB761 not only increased the number of neural stem cells in mice after stroke, but also migrated neural stem cells to the ischemic area. Discovery promotion.
In addition, Ginkgo biloba extract EGB761 can also induce Wnt/Wnt/β-catenin pathway and increase Wnt expression, thereby promoting endogenous regeneration. Therefore, Ginkgo biloba extract can be used as a natural medicine as an alternative method to promote nerve regeneration.
