Imaging of mouse brains reveals ApoM-Fc and S1P's dramatic effect on restoring tissue function after stroke. At left, white areas indicate tissue damage in untreated mice after stroke. At center, mice were treated with inactive "dud" ApoM. At right, mice were treated with optimized Fc-ApoM protein containing S1P.
