Encapsulated NSC  Increase Endogenous Neural Stem Progenitor Cell Proliferation and Differentiation. (A) Confocal image of injected microbeads position into the striatum relatively to the lateral ventricle (LV). Few GFP-tagged NSC were observed migrating towards SVZ two weeks after injection, however at day 3, no GFP-tagged NSC were founded in the SVZ. (B) Confocal images staining for Ki67 and Sox2 stained tissue sections of control (upper panel), encapsulated NSC (middle panel) and encapsulated NSC and EC (lower panel) groups, quantifying co-localization of proliferating NSC (Ki67+/Sox2+) in SVZ tabled in (D). (C) Confocal images staining for DCX and Hoechst to visualize endogenous NSC maturation in SVZ, quantifying endogenous DCX+ cells tabled in E. Error bars represent SEM. Three different SVZ regions were selected from each brain tissue for the analyses (n = 3-5). **p < 0.01 determined by one-way ANOVA with multiple comparisons. Scale bar (25 µm) representative of all images.
