DCX and stroke disorder: A quantification of these phenotypes revealed that there was no significant difference in DCX+ neural progenitor density in the contralateral hemisphere (F = 0.1352, n.s.), the peri-infarct region (F = 2.807, n.s.)and within the ECM hydrogel (F = 4.742, p < 0.05) at any time point post-stroke (Figure 9).
