Through an innovative drug screening process designed to find compounds that target cellular energy metabolism, a team of researchers at Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital found that the drug Meclizine has the potential to revolutionze the way doctors treat strokes and heart attacks...

In the process, researchers discovered that Meclizine can inhibit mitochondrial respiration by shifting cellular metabolism—a promising find for the treatment of heart attacks and strokes...
