A material for treatment of cerebral infarction ameliorates angiopathy at a cerebral infarction region and improves brain function. The material for treatment of cerebral infarction according to the present invention comprises a dental pulp stem cell including at least one of a CD105-positive cell, an SP cell, a CD24-positive cell, a CD271-positive cell, and a CD150-positive cell. The material for treatment of cerebral infarction according to the present invention may contain a secretory protein of the dental pulp stem cell. Transplanted dental pulp stem cells do not directly differentiate into neural progenitor cells or neural cells and indirectly participate in the promotion of differentiation to restore and cure a cerebral infarction region such that the region becomes normal.
