HIF-activated pericytes increased vascular density in males but did not improve motor function in either sex, whereas non-HIF-activated pericytes improved motor recovery in both sexes (males 2.722 plus or minus 0.31-fold, females 3.824 plus or minus 0.58-fold score improvement, P less than 0.05) wi…
