Probable Factors Associated with Response to Mesenchymal Stem Cell Therapy in Stroke Patients: A Post Hoc Analysis of the STARTING-2 Trial
The aim of this study was to identify factors associated with improved motor function of the lower extremities in response to mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy in patients with ischemic stroke. This study was a post hoc analysis of data from a prospective, open-label, randomized controlled trial o...
