BACKGROUND CONTEXT: Spinal cord injury can lead to severe functional impairments
secondary to axonal damage, neuronal loss, and demyelination. The injured spinal cord has …

Abstract Background Context Previous studies have demonstrated functional recovery of
rats with spinal cord contusions after transplantation of neural stem cells adjacent to the site …

Background We previously reported that functional recovery of rats with spinal cord
contusions can occur after acute transplantation of neural stem cells distal to the site of …

Transplantation of human fetal neural stem cells (hNSCs) previously demonstrated
significant functional recovery after spinal cord contusion in rats. Other studies indicated that …

Spinal cord contusion injury leads to severe loss of gray and white matter and subsequent
deficit of motor and sensory functions below the lesion. In this study, we investigated …

Objective To study the transplantation efficacy of neural stem cells (NSCs) and Schwann
cells (SC) in a rat model of spinal cord contusion injury. Methods Multipotent neural stem …

Introduction Intraspinal grafting of human neural stem cells represents a promising approach
to promote recovery of function after spinal trauma. Such a treatment may serve to: I) provide …

Traumatic injuries to the spinal cord lead to severe and permanent neurological deficits.
Although no effective therapeutic option is currently available, recent animal studies have …

Introduction A growing number of studies have highlighted the potential of stem cell and
more-differentiated neural cell transplantation as intriguing therapeutic approaches for …

Implanted neural stem cells (NSC) could improve neurological functions following spinal
cord injury (SCI), but the optimal conditions for NSC transplantation are largely unknown …
