Fig. 3From: Combination of indirect revascularization and endothelial progenitor cell transplantation improved cerebral perfusion and ameliorated tauopathy in a rat model of bilateral ICA ligationEMS combined with intramuscular injection of EPCs improved the functional outcome of BICAL rats. The latency to fall in the rotarod test was recorded, and a significant impairment in motor coordination performance was evident in the BICAL group as compared with the control group. The latency to fall was significantly improved in the EMS combined with EPC treatment group. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, n = 5–6Back to article page
