“…MSCs from cord blood, bone marrow and adipose decrease TUNELlabeled neurons, decrease caspase 3 mRNA, increase Bcl-2 expression (Calio et al, 2014; Feng et al, 2016; Li et al, 2002; Liu et al, 2014; Wu et al, 2008; Zhu et al, 2014). NSCs have similar effects when transplanted into the cortical peri-infarct area 24 h after permanent MCAO (Chen et al, 2014; Zhang et al, 2009) or even when administered one week after MCAO (Chang et al, 2013b; Shen et al, 2010. Even NSCs derived from iPSCs can decrease apoptosis (Chang et al, 2013a; Yao et al, 2015).…”
