Vascular Stat3 Promotes Angiogenesis and Neuroplasticity Long-Term After Stroke.

CONCLUSIONS: -Endothelial Stat3 regulates angiogenesis, axon growth and ECM-remodeling and is essential for long-term recovery after stroke. It might serve as a potent target for stroke treatment after the acute phase by fostering angiogenesis and neuroregeneration. PMID: 25794850 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
