Human Schwann cells exhibit long‐term cell survival, are not tumorigenic and promote repair when transplanted into the contused spinal cord
22 May 2017
Abstract excerpt
The transplantation of rodent Schwann cells (SCs) provides anatomical and functional restitution in a variety of spinal cord injury (SCI) models, supporting the recent translation of SCs to phase 1 clinical trials for human SCI. Whereas human (Hu)SCs have been examined experimentally in a complete SCI transection paradigm, to date the reported behavior of SCs when transplanted after a clinically relevant...
