While injection of GDNF into lateral ventricle has a strong mitogenic effect to increase neurogenesis in SVZ, it does not induce migration of neuroblasts towards the ischemic area. In contrast, MANF facilitates the migration of neuroblasts towards the lesioned cortex. Regarding long-term infusions in the peri-infarct zone, both GDNF and MANF recruited the neuroblasts in the infarct area. However, only MANF accelerated functional recovery after stroke . In summary, this work has extended the knowledge of MANF's capacity for neuronal differentiation as well as migration, and the regenerative capacity for its therapeutic use in further studies.

Stroke is the leading cause of serious, long-term disability in the United States. Each year, approximately 795,000 people suffer a stroke. About 600,000 of these are first attacks, and 185,000 are recurrent attacks.
Ischemic stroke occurs as a result of an obstruction within a blood vessel supplying blood to the brain. It accounts for 87 percent of all stroke cases.
