The distribution of neuroblasts and endothelial cells in brain infarction area. Results of IHF staining (D) (400×) showing significantly lower number of doublecortin-positive cells (yellow arrows) in group 1 (A) than in groups 2 (B) and 3 (C), and significantly lower in group 2 than in group 3. IHF staining (H) (400×) demonstrating significantly lower number of von Willibrand factor (vWF)-positive cells (yellow arrows) in group 1 (E) than in groups 2 (F) and 3 (G), and notably lower in group 2 than in group 3 (H). n = 10 in each study group. Scale bars in right lower corner represent 20 μm. * vs. † vs. ‡, p < 0.001.
