Plasmodium berghei ANKA: Erythropoietin activates neural stem cells in an experimental cerebral malaria model

► EPO treatment improves survival in an experimental model of cerebral malaria (CM). ► Nestin+ neural stem cells increase in number upon EPO treatment. ► Nestin+ neural stem cells migrate more frequently in CM mice upon EPO treatment. ► EPO treatment increase the number of neuronal progenitor cells.
