This study identifies eight new genetic loci associated with cardioembolic stroke using multitrait analysis of GWAS data, revealing distinct genetic pathways from atrial fibrillation.

This paper identifies seven genome-wide significant loci associated with early neurological instability after acute ischemic stroke, linking excitotoxic genes to poor outcomes.

This paper develops a radiomic signature from T2-FLAIR MRI images to predict white matter hyperintensities burden and links it to clinical phenotypes.

This study identifies sex-specific lesion patterns in acute ischemic stroke that correlate with stroke severity, highlighting differences in lesion distribution between men and women.
