Abstract:Introduction:
Cell based therapies have shown a considerable ability to improve functional outcome when administered after experimental stroke. Intra-arterial (IA) cell transplantation has been shown to be a valuable alternative transplantation method for cell treatment.

This process is reliant on neural stem cell (NSC) expression of chemokines and their receptors. Understanding the… Show more
