[摘要]：Adult brain-derived neural stem cells have acquired a lot of interest as an endurable neuronal cell source that can be used for central nervous system repair in a wide range of neurological disorders such as ischemic stroke. Recently, we identified injury-induced neural stem/progenitor cells in the poststroke murine cerebral cortex. In this study, we show that, after differentiation in vitro, injury-induced neural stem/progenitor cells express pyramidal cell markers Emx1 and CaMKII alpha, as well as mature neuron markers MAP2 and Tuj1. 5-bromo-2-deoxyuridinine-positive neurons in the peristroke cortex also express such pyramidal markers. The presence of newly regenerated pyramidal neurons in the poststroke brain might provide a noninvasive therapeutic strategy for stroke treatment with functional recovery.
