Grafted human induced pluripotent stem cells improve the outcome of spinal cord injury: modulation of the lesion microenvironment
Abstract Spinal cord injury results in irreversible tissue damage followed by a very limited recovery of function. In this study we investigated whether transplantation of undifferentiated human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) into the injured rat spinal cord is able to induce morphological...
