The Fern Lab - The Fern lab is located in the Department of Neurology at the University of Washington in Seattle. The lab's research focuses on ischemic injury of the brain, in particular the neonatal/developing brain. Ischemia is the term given to a loss of blood supply and can arise due to obstruction of a blood vessel (leading to a stroke), or from factors that are currently not well understood but which produce the brain injury that underlies cerebral palsy.
PubMed Abstract of review article on the role of calcium in ischemic cell death. Review concluded that calcium is one of the triggers involved in ischemic cell death, whatever
the mechanism.
