Roles of ES cell-derived gliogenic neural stem/progenitor cells in functional recovery after spinal cord injury.

Transplantation of neural stem/progenitor cells (NS/PCs) following the sub-acute phase of spinal cord injury (SCI) has been shown to promote functional recovery in rodent models. However, the types of cells most effective for treating SCI have not been clarified. Taking advantage of our recently est...
