Agents that protect against neurovascular damage provide a powerful neuroprotective strategy. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) may be used to treat neonates with hypoxic-ischemia (HI) because of its autologous capability. We hypothesized that peripherally injected HUVECs entered the brain after HI, protected against neurovascular damage, and provided protection via stromal cell-derived factor 1/C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 pathway in neonatal brain.
