The findings were published in <em>Nature<\/em>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f241f77 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f241f77\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>After a stroke, microglia, the brain&#8217;s resident immune cells, transition into a reparative state, producing growth factors such as insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) that support remyelination, strengthen neural connections, and promote functional recovery. However, this reparative phase typically lasts only about two months before declining.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bcdb794 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"bcdb794\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>A team led by researchers from the Institute of Science, Tokyo, in collaboration with institutions in Japan and Germany, discovered that a transcription factor called ZFP384 increases as the brain&#8217;s repair functions diminish. ZFP384 disrupts the chromatin interactions mediated by the protein YY1 that are necessary for neural repair gene expression, causing microglia to lose their reparative properties.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-248953a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"248953a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>When researchers genetically deleted the Zfp384 gene from microglia in mouse stroke models, the animals maintained recovery-associated gene expression for much longer than normal mice. This sustained reparative state enhanced remyelination of damaged nerve fibres and promoted synaptic plasticity, resulting in significantly better long-term neurological function.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-65630bd elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"65630bd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Based on these findings, the team developed an antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) therapy designed to suppress Zfp384 expression. Remarkably, the treatment remained effective even when administered one week or one month after stroke onset.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element

suggesting the mechanism operates in humans and could represent a therapeutic target.<\/p><p>The researchers plan to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ZFP384-targeting therapies in larger
