New review highlights how stem cell therapies may boost stroke recovery by teaming up with the immune system to reducing inflammation, protecting brain tissue, and supporting repair. Read more from @SaefIzzy and colleagues: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41233589/ @BWHNeuroICU @BWHNeurology

A new study shows people with spinal cord injuries are more likely to develop chronic disorders. The study was published in @JAMANetworkOpen. Read more: massgeneralbrigham.org/en/about/newsr… jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman… @SaefIzzy

While part of the research team is at AAN, @SaefIzzy is presenting in Vienna at the #ADPD2025 conference on his groundbreaking research. Congrats, Saef! #Neuroscience #braininjury #neuro #mgbneurocritical #neurocritical

Congratulations to the 2024 Stepping Strong Breakthrough Award recipient, @SaefIzzy, MD, on his feature in the @BostonGlobe for his development of a nasal therapy that reduces neuroinflammation after a traumatic brain injury (TBI). bostonglobe.com/2025/03/25/met…

Honored to speak at the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine workshop on TBI as a Chronic Condition. Excited to discuss long-term impacts and strategies to improve care. Join us!

Nasal anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody ameliorates traumatic brain injury (#TBI), enhances microglial phagocytosis and reduces neuroinflammation via IL-10-dependent Treg–#microglia crosstalk in mice @saefizzy @weinerlabhms nature.com/articles/s4159…

The findings of a study in @NatureNeuro suggest that nasal anti-CD3 represents a promising new therapeutic approach for treating traumatic brain injury and potentially other forms of acute brain injury. go.nature.com/3QGBpQK

Nasal Spray Offers Hope for TBI! Our Nature Neuroscience study shows nasal anti-CD3 therapy recruits regulatory immune cells to modulate brain inflammation in mouse models of moderate-to-severe TBI—a promising non-invasive treatment on the horizon! nature.com/articles/s4159…

Congratulations to @SaefIzzy on his promotion to Associate Professor of Neurology at @harvardmed

Dr. Izzy’s @SaefIzzy new study confirms earlier findings published in #JAMA: Traumatic #Brain Injury raises the risk of long-term #cardiovascular and neurological issues, =critical need for early screening and prevention! jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman…

The Stepping Strong Center is pleased to announce the 2024 Stepping Strong Breakthrough Award winner: Congratulations, Dr. @SaefIzzy! Dr. Izzy will study a potential treatment for spinal cord injury (SCI) that nasally administers anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody.

Huge congratulations to @SaefIzzy for winning 2024 Stepping Strong Breakthrough Award for his research on neuroinflammation treatment targets for #spinalcordinjury #TBI #traumaticbraininjury #neuroscience #NIH🏆 #mgbneurocritical @BrighamWomens @BWHNeurology

Throwback to #ncs2024 - second year #mgbneurocritical fellow Sandro’s poster and faculty @SaefIzzy on the ⬆️ incidence of #cardiovascular disease after #TBI in young patients. They followed patients after TBI for 20 years and find a sig ⬆️ in ❤️ risk

Is it appropriate to share clinically relevant research results with active-duty Special Operations Forces? We explore ethical, legal & operational perspectives, with the goal of empowering Operators who seek information about their brain health. osf.io/preprints/psya…

Congrats to faculty @SaefIzzy on an excellent presentation at @neurocriticalcaresociety regarding anti-inflammatory therapies to directly treat edema and secondary injury resulting from #TBI. #ncs2024 #neurocritical #fellowship #neuroicu #neurocriticalcare #MGBneurocritical

Congratulations to 2024 Fellow of Neurocritical Care Society (FNCS) inductee @SaefIzzy. #NCS2024

Congratulations @SaefIzzy after your outstanding talk highlighting breakthroughs in the field of #TBI research. We are excited to see where your work at @BrighamWomens will go in the very near future and bring groundbreaking therapies to the field!! @neurocritical #NCS2024
