Transplantation of erythropoietin gene-modified neural stem cells improves the repair of injured spinal cord

The protective effects of erythropoietin on spinal cord injury have not been well described. Here, the eukaryotic expression plasmid pcDNA3.1 human erythropoietin was transfected into rat neural stem cells cultured in vitro. A rat model of spinal cord injury was established using a free falling obje...
