Indirect revascularization has exhibited promising effects in the treatment of cerebral ischemia related to moyamoya disease and intracranial atherosclerotic disease. The role of EPCs in augmenting the revascularization effect is not clear. In this study, we investigated the therapeutic effects of indirect revascularization combined with EPC transplantation in rats with chronic cerebral ischemia.enAngiogenesis; Cerebral ischemia; Endothelial progenitor cells; Indirect revascularization; Microcirculation; Neuronal damage[SDGs]SDG3Combination of indirect revascularization and endothelial progenitor cell transplantation improved cerebral perfusion and ameliorated tauopathy in a rat model of bilateral ICA ligationjournal article10.1186/s13287-022-03196-1363711972-s2.0-85141656472WOS:000882404300003https://api.elsevier.com/content/abstract/scopus_id/85141656472
