A Look into Stem Cell Therapy: Exploring the Options for Treatment of Ischemic Stroke

Figure 6

This figure demonstrates the capabilities of inducible pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Human iPSCs can be directed in vitro to the NSC phenotype. They are then injected into the cerebrum following MCAO and ischemic injury in rats. iPSCs are able to proliferate and differentiate primarily into neurons.
