Vasculogenesis in Experimental Stroke After Human Cerebral Endothelial Cell Transplantation [Basic Sciences]

Conclusions—
We found attenuation of behavioral and histological deficits coupled with robust vasculogenesis and neurogenesis in endothelial cell–transplanted stroke animals, suggesting that targeting vascular repair sets in motion a regenerative process in experimental stroke possibly via the VEGF pathway.
