From: Mural cell-derived laminin-α5 plays a detrimental role in ischemic stroke
α5-PKO mice have smaller injury size, improved neurological function and alleviated body weight loss after ischemic stroke. a Representative images of cresyl violet staining in control and α5-PKO brains at days 1, 2 and 7 after injury. b Quantification showing reduced brain infarct volume in α5-PKO mice at days 1, 2 and 7 after injury. n = 8. c Quantification showing decreased neurological severity score in α5-PKO mice at days 5 and 7 after injury. mNSS, modified neurological severity score. n = 8. d Quantification showing attenuated body weight loss in α5-PKO mice at days 4–7 after injury. n = 8. *p < 0.05, compared to controls at the same time points
