Abstract excerpt
Stem cell therapy is a promising approach for remyelination strategies in demyelinating and traumatic disorders of the spinal cord. Self-renewing neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs) reside in the adult mammalian brain and spinal cord. We transplanted NSPCs derived from the adult spinal cord of transgenic rats into two models of focal demyelination and congenital dysmyelination. Focal demyelination was induced by...
