Human neural stem cells improve early stage stroke outcome in delayed tissue plasminogen activator-treated aged stroke brains.

CONCLUSIONS: Aged stroke mice that received delayed tPA treatment in combination with hNSC transplantation exhibited reduced stroke pathophysiology in comparison to non-transplanted stroke mice with delayed tPA. This suggests that hNSC transplantation may synergize with already existing stroke therapies to benefit a larger stroke patient population. PMID: 32147438 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
