Effect of mBMSC and EA treatment on neurogenesis as detected by BrdU incorporation. (A) Photomicrographs and (B,C) histograms for BrdU-positive and BrdU/Dcx double-positive cells in the striatum and hippocampus (n = 5). The number of BrdU-positive cells in the striatum was significantly higher in the combined mBMSC and EA treatment group than in the other groups. BrdU/Dcx double-positive cells are indicated by arrows. #p < 0.05 and ##p < 0.01 versus control group; *p < 0.05 versus vehicle-treated MCAO group; &p < 0.05 versus mBMSC-treated MCAO group. Scale bar = 100 μm.
