| Research Abstract |
We confirmed that revascularization and MSC transplantation have therapeutic efficacy in behavioral recovery of Moyamoya model of rats. Because VEGF plasmid injection combined with revascularization did not show better behavioral recovery compared with revascularization only, we looked for more suitable angiogenic factor for combined therapy of angiogenic factor and MSC transplantation, and confirmed apelin-APJ system was activated in chronic cerebral hypoperfusion. Moreover, we developed less invasive monkey ischemia model using an endovascular technique.
