  abstract = {At present, cell therapy with adult stem cells offers hope for treating neurological diseases considered incurable. In this paper, we review our current experience with delayed intracerebral transplantation of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSC) as a potential treatment of established neurological deficits occurring after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). The injection of collagenase IV into basal ganglia of adult Wistar rats causes intracerebral hemorrhage and subsequent neurological deficits that can be quantified by means of functional assessment tests. When the neurological deficit is stabilized, the intracerebral administration of BMSC is followed by a clear functional recovery of the treated animals compared to controls. Furthermore, histological studies show that transplanted stem cells can survive long-term in the injured brain, acquiring a phenotype of neurons and glial cells. These findings suggest that stem cell therapy represents an important field of research, with potential clinical application to treatment of established neurological deficits after brain hemorrhage.},
