VEGFC and Stroke: The rat model showed enhanced motor recovery in the rotarod and Morris water maze tests (Bai et al. 2022), while VEGF-C-pretreated mice exhibited a longer hanging wire duration (Boisserand et al. 2024), improved NSS post-stroke (Boisserand et al. 2024; Keuters et al. 2025) and locomotor disturbances measured by Catwalk gait analysis but no improvement in sensorimotor performance (Keuters et al. 2025).
