This work provides a new link between Wnt3a and macrophage-mediated angiogenesis under glucose and oxygen deprivation in vitro, which are worth further investigation in pathological conditions including stroke, where the stimulation of the angiogenic process might help to recovery after tissue injury Impact statement This work provides a new link between Wnt3a and macrophage-mediated angiogenesis under glucose and oxygen deprivation in vitro.
Although wnt3a has been investigated in the phenomena of neurogenesis, anti-apoptosis, and anti-inflammation, it has never been investigated as a therapy for stroke.
