To further identify whether the increased number of DCX+cells in the ipsilateral side of the brain as well as those that migrated intothe glial scar area were due to increased proliferation of NSCs, in a differentcohort, we harvested stroke mice that were subjected to scrambled peptide or ISPtreatment after 14 days, a time when NSC cell proliferation peaks in response tostroke (Arvidsson et al., 2002; Palma-Tortosa et al., 2017). The gene discussed is DCX; the disease is stroke disorder.
