Effect of human umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells administered by intravenous or intravitreal routes on cryo-induced retinal injury.

abstract：:Endothelial dysfunction is fundamental to ischemic stroke and brain injury. The humanin analogue S14G-humanin (HNG) has been shown to be a cytoprotective derivative. In this study, we investigated the neuroprotective effects of HNG in vivo and in vitro. In a murine middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) stroke model,...
