EPO and Ventriculomegaly: Using a strategy similar to EPO+MLT to induce multi-faceted repair, intravenous or intraventricular injection of umbilical-cord derived mesenchymal stromal cells on P6 improved early functional outcomes and reduced ventriculomegaly and GFAP-expression in rats with IVH on P4 or P5 (Ahn et al., 2013; Mukai et al., 2017).
