It suggests associations of the CD45–CD34 + CD133+ cells with the neurological status of stroke patients, and some activity of the CD45–CD34 + CD133+, the CD45–CD34 + CXCR4+, and the CD45–CD34 + CXCR7+ progenitor/stem cells in the process of arterial remodeling. The gene discussed is ACKR3; the disease is stroke disorder.
