In our previous study using a permanent stroke model, although the vessels with TRPM4 siRNA treatment were longer and smooth, the diameter of the capillaries was similar to that observed in control animals [6] with no visible lumen, indicating a lack of functional blood flow in these vessels, whereas in the current transient stroke model, the capillary diameter in TRPM4 siRNA-treated animals was much larger and displayed clear lumen in most blood vessels. Here, TRPM4 is linked to Stroke.
