Functional assessment of the acute local and distal transplantation of human neural stem cells after spinal cord injury.
Spine J. 2012; (11): 1040-4
Spinal cord injury can lead to severe functional impairments secondary to axonal damage, neuronal loss, and demyelination. The injured spinal cord has limited regrowth of damaged axons. Treatment remains controversial, given inconsistent functional improvement. Previous studies demonstrated functional recovery of rats with spinal cord contusion after transplantation of rat fetal neural stem cells.
