Core Tip We note a recently published randomized controlled trial investigating the efficacy and mechanisms of combined mesenchymal and neural stem cell therapy for acute cerebral infarction. The study systematically validated, at the clinical level, the therapy’s role in promoting neurological recovery through the regulation of vascular endothelial growth factor and basic fibroblast growth factor, while demonstrating a favorable safety profile. In this letter, we share our perspectives.
