MSCs-EVs decrease microglial activation in the cortex ipsilateral to the HI.

Upper panels: Immunohistochemistry images of microglia with Iba-1 staining in the sham, HI, and HI + EVs groups. Green arrowheads show the resting microglia (ramified microglia) and red arrowheads show the activated microglia (amoeboid shape). Scale bar: 25 µm. Lower panels: Quantification of the number of endpoints per Iba-1+ cell and the length of the cell processes in the infarct core. All of the experiments were carried out on four independent samples. Graphs show the mean ± SD; *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 (one-way analysis of variance with Bonferroni correction). EV: Extracellular vesicle; HI: hypoxia-ischemia; MSC: mesenchymal stromal cell.
