We found that total spine density did not show significant differences among the groups of intact control, stroke vehicle control and stroke SCF+G-CSF treatment either 2 weeks (one- way ANOVA: F(2,6) = 0.53, P = 0.60) or 6 weeks (one- way ANOVA: F(2,6) = 0.40, P = 0.69) after treatment (Figure 2). This evidence concerns the gene CSF3 and Stroke.
