Figure 5From: Recovery of neurological function of ischemic stroke by application of conditioned medium of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells derived from normal and cerebral ischemia ratsPromoted sprouting of neuronal progenitor cells in the lateral ventricles of MCAo rats treated with NormBM-MSC Cm and IschBM-MSC Cm. (A) The schematic picture displays the assessed lateral ventricle near hippocampus; Coronal sections of brain tissues from different treatment were immunostained with anti-doublecortin (DCX; green). DCX-positive cells were located along with lateral ventricles in the group given with BM-MSC Cm; magnification 200× (B): The immunoreactive area of DCX-positive cells was determined using Image-Pro Plus software. Representative data were taken as the means ± S.D. of three repetitions.Back to article page
