Figure 1. Interventions to improve recovery after stroke
All interventions increase VEGF and BDNF which will:1) promote survival of cells of the neurovascular unit in the ischemic boundary zone, 2) remove damaged tissue in the core, 3) create a vascular niche in the subventricular zone for neurogenesis and allow neuroblast migration to site of recovery.
