Bone marrow cell (BMC)-based therapies, either the transplantation of exogenous cells or stimulation of endogenous cells by growth factors like the granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), are considered a promising means of treating stroke. In contrast to large preclinical evidence, however, a recent clinical stroke trial on G-CSF was neutral. We, therefore, aimed to investigate possible synergistic effects of co-administration of G-CSF and BMCs after experimental stroke in mice to enhance the efficacy compared with single treatments.
