Transplantation of Human Embryonic Stem Cell-Derived Oligodendrocyte Progenitors into Rat Spinal Cord Injuries Does not Cause Harm
1 Jul 2006
Abstract excerpt
Demyelination contributes to loss of function following spinal cord injury. We have shown previously that transplantation of human embryonic stem cell-derived oligodendrocyte progenitors into adult rat 200 kD contusive spinal cord injury sites enhances remyelination and promotes recovery of motor function. Previous studies using oligodendrocyte lineage cells have noted a correlation between the presence of...
