iNSC Treatment Improves Cerebral Blood Perfusion in the Infarcted Area. PWI was utilized to measure CBV in the infarct region. Representative perfusion maps of non-treated (A) and iNSC treated (B) animals indicating increased cerebral perfusion in the infarct (white arrows) in iNSC treated animals at 12 weeks. CBV was significantly increased in iNSC treated animals 12 weeks post-transplant compared to 24 hours post-stroke (C). Data are expressed as mean ± s.d. Data is generated from scans of 4 animals per treatment group. #Indicates significance from 24 hours post-stroke within treatment (p < 0.05).
