Unbiased stereology analysis (n = 10 mice) shows that stroke increased the number of YFP+ cells by 30% (2,580±117 vs 1,987±89 cells in the contralateral, p<0.05), 46% (656±41 vs 449±34 cells in the contralateral, p<0.05), and 588% (3,029±114 vs 440±46 cells in the contralateral, p<0.05) in the corpus callosum, SVZ, and striatum of the ipsilateral hemisphere compared to the number in the homologous regions of the contralateral hemisphere, respectively, indicating that stroke increases nestin lineage cells. Here, NES is linked to Stroke.
