Fetal Spinal Cord Tissue in Mini-Guidance Channels Promotes Longitudinal Axonal Growth after Grafting into Hemisected Adult Rat Spinal Cords
Solid fetal spinal cord (FSC) tissue, seeded into semipermeable mini-guidance channels, was tested for the ability to promote axonal growth across the gap created by a midthoracic (T8) hemisection in adult rats. Fetal thoracic spinal cords, at embryonic days 13 to 15, were harvested and gently aspir...
