Human Schwann Cell Transplantation for Spinal Cord Injury: Prospects and Challenges in Translational Medicine
The benefits of transplanting cultured Schwann cells (SCs) for the treatment of spinal cord injury (SCI) have been systematically investigated in experimental animals since the early 1990s. Importantly, human SC (hSC) transplantation for SCI has advanced to clinical testing and safety has been estab...
