Intraspinal injection of embryonic neurons maintains muscle phenotype in adult chronic spinal rats.

Abstract excerpt

A suspension of monoaminergic embryonic neurons was transplanted into the spinal cord of paraplegic rats. Enzyme histochemical, morphometric, and biochemical analyses of the hindlimb musculature were carried out 2-5 months later to determine the consequences on muscle atrophy and muscle phenotypes which were compared in three groups of rats: intact, spinalized, and spinalized and transplanted with embryonic...
