Abstract excerpt
Recently, we have shown that the transplantation of spinal-cord-derived neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs) can contribute to the repair of injured spinal cords in adult rats, which may correspond to a behavioral recovery. To apply these results to clinical practice, a system for supplying human NSPCs on a large scale must be established. However, human spinal-cord-derived NSPCs are known to have a low...
