CD133 + Exo treatment of T2DM stroke significantly increases vascular and white matter/axon remodeling. (A,B) CD133 + Exo treatment of T2DM-stroke significantly increases arterial blood vessel density (αSMA) and vessel density (vWF) in the ischemic brain compared to T2DM-stroke mice. (C,D) CD133 + Exo treatment of T2DM-stroke significantly increases axon density (Bielschowsky silver, BS) and myelin density (Luxol fast blue, LFB) in the ischemic brain compared to T2DM-stroke mice at 28 days after stroke. T2DM (n = 8), T2DM-stroke (n = 12), and T2DM-stroke + Exo (n = 13).
