Pages 1479-1483 | Published online: 06 Aug 2013

Figures & data

Figure 1. Stem cell administration enhances brain repair mechanisms after cerebral infarct. Cell therapy is an attractive therapeutic approach to enhance brain plasticity that improves neurogenesis, gliagenesis, oligodendrogenesis, remyelination, synaptic plasticity and angiogenesis, not only in gray but also in the white matter. Additionally, stem cells are able to stimulate compensatory processes in the contralateral hemisphere after stroke.
