Traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) is a detrimental condition that causes loss of sensory and
motor function in an individual. Many complex secondary injury cascades occur after SCI …

Neural progenitor cell (NPC) transplantation is a promising therapeutic strategy for replacing
lost neurons following spinal cord injury (SCI). However, how graft cellular composition …

Previously, we and others have shown that rodent neural progenitor cells (NPCs) can
support functional recovery after cervical and thoracic transection injuries. To extend these …

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 …

The existence of endogenous neural progenitor cells (NPCs) in the adult spinal cord (sc)
provides the potential for tailored repair therapies after spinal cord injury (SCI). This study …

A pool of endogenous neural progenitor cells (NPCs) found in the ependymal layer and the
sub-ependymal area of the spinal cord are reported to upregulate Nestin in response to …

Traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) results in the loss of neurons, oligodendrocytes, and
astrocytes. Present interventions for SCI include decompressive surgery, anti-inflammatory …

Background aims. Spinal cord injury is a devastating injury that impacts drastically on the
victim's quality of life. Stem cells have been proposed as a therapeutic strategy. Neural stem …

We examined the effect of spinal cord–derived neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs) after
delayed transplantation into the injured adult rat spinal cord with or without earlier …

Transplanted neural stem/precursor cells possess peculiar therapeutic plasticity and can
simultaneously instruct several therapeutic mechanisms in addition to cell replacement …
