Poststroke Cell Therapy of the Aged Brain by Aurel Popa-Wagner, Madalina Filfan, Adriana Uzoni, Pouya Pourgolafshan, Ana-Maria Buga

“…Our group proved that important differences appear in the aged brain compared with young one, that is, the accelerated progression of ischemic area, or the delayed initiation of neurological recovery. In this light, these age-related aspects should be carefully evaluated in the clinical translation of neurorestorative therapies. …”
