2. Post-stroke between 6 months and 15 years at the screening

3. Subjects who have had stroke(s) in carotid artery distribution area, and the location of ischemic stroke should be diagnosed by magnetic resonance image (MRI)

4. Subjects who have had the brain injured area with diameter between 0.5 and 10 cm according to MRI evaluation

5. Subjects who have National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score between 8 and 30 at the screening

6. Subjects who had stroke with hemiparesis (remaining residual limb movement, defined as score less than 4 on questions 5 or 6 on the NIHSS for the affected limbs) at screening.

7. Subjects who have stable NIHSS (±3) for at least 2 weeks from Visit 1 (screening) to Visit2 (prior to operation)

8. Subjects with systolic blood pressure less than 200 mmHg (an average based on ≥2 readings) at screening, prior to the operation for fat tissue acquisition (Visit 2), and before the surgery for ADSC administration (Visit 3)

9. Subjects with International normalized ration (INR) < 2.5, and platelet between 1 × 105/μL and 5 × 105/μL at the screening

10. Female subjects with childbearing potential should be confirmed of not being pregnant or lactating at the screening and during the study.

11. All male subjects and female subjects with child-bearing potential (between puberty and 2 years after menopause) should use reliable contraception method(s), such as tubal ligation, vasectomy, intrauterine device (IUD), intrauterine system (IUS), hormonal contraception or condom, during this study when they have sexual behavior.

12. Neurology physician judges the recent symptoms in subjects are correlated to the stroke area.

13. Subjects or the legally acceptable representative are willing to sign informed consent form (ICF).

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Subjects who are suffered by clinically significantly autoimmune conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), multiple sclerosis (MS) or psoriasis

2. Subjects who are unable to undergo MRI and Computed tomography (CT) scans for any reason

3. Subjects who have multiple stenosis in intracranial blood vessels

4. Subjects receiving antiplatelets (e.g., aspirin and persantin) and/or anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin) cannot temporarily cease the treatment within 3 days before fat tissue acquisition (Visit 2) or ADSCs administration (Visit 3).

5. Subjects who receive systemic immunosuppressive treatments, immunotherapy, or cytotoxic drug within 1 month before screening

6. Subjects with inadequate hepatic function at the screening visit: Alanine aminotransaminase (ALT), Aspartate aminotransaminase (AST), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) ≥ 2X upper limit of normal (ULN).

7. Subjects with inadequate renal function at the screening visit: Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) ≥ 30 mg/dl; serum creatinine ≥ 3 mg/dl

8. Subjects who have medical historical or clinically active spinal injury, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA), spinal muscular atophy (SMA) or other clinically significant neurological diseases that will confound the evaluation of this study

9. Subjects who have clinically severe and/or life-threatening disease(s) such as uncontrolled diabetes or malignant tumor

10. Subjects who have risk for the following infectious diseases: human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), syphilis, or human transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE), such as Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD)

11. Subject who fails to generate adequate amount of ADSCs before administration at Visit 3

12. Female subject who is lactating, pregnant, or planned to be pregnant

13. Subject with known or suspected hypersensitivity to GXNPC-1 or its excipients

14. Subject with any complication by chest X-ray and electrocardiogram (ECG) evaluation

15. Subjects who have participated in other investigational studies and received any treatment within 4 weeks prior to screening

16. Subjects not suitable to participate the trial as judged by the investigator(s)
