Restorative effects of human neural stem cell grafts on the primate spinal cord

Posted on February 27, 2018 by christalpowell

We grafted human spinal cord–derived neural progenitor cells (NPCs) into sites of cervical spinal cord injury in rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta). Under three-drug immunosuppression, grafts survived at least 9 months postinjury and expressed both neuronal and glial markers. Monkey axons … Continue reading →
