As shown in Figure 2A, in IF staining, protein levels of Nestin, Ki67, and DCX‐positive cells were significantly increased in the SGZ neurogenic niche of rats receiving three injections of CM compared with the untreated stroke rats (Figure 2B–D, p < 0.05, p < 0.01, and p < 0.01, respectively). Here, DCX is linked to stroke disorder.
