Human neural stem cells differentiate and promote locomotor recovery in spinal cord-injured mice

TL;DR: It is reported that prospectively isolated, human CNS stem cells grown as neurospheres (hCNS-SCns) survive, migrate, and express differentiation markers for neurons and oligodendrocytes after long-term engraftment in spinal cord-injured NOD-scid mice.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quantitative analysis of cellular inflammation after traumatic spinal cord injury: Evidence for a multiphasic inflammatory response in the acute to chronic environment

TL;DR: The present study characterizes a novel cell preparation method that assesses, quickly and effectively, the changes in the principal immune cell types by flow cytometry in the injured spinal cord, daily for the first 10 days and periodically up to 180 days after spinal cord injury, to identify a surprising and extended multiphasic response of cellular inflammation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human neural stem cells differentiate and promote locomotor recovery in an early chronic spinal cord injury NOD-scid mouse model.

TL;DR: The results suggest that hCNS-SCns are capable of surviving, differentiating, and promoting improved locomotor recovery when transplanted into an early chronic injury microenvironment and expands the “window of opportunity” for intervention.
Journal ArticleDOI

Safety of Human Neural Stem Cell Transplantation in Chronic Spinal Cord Injury

TL;DR: The data suggest chronic transplantation may have enhanced the generation of mature oligodendrocytes and the timing of transplantation did not induce changes in allodynia or hyperalgesia measures, and support the safety of hCNS‐SCns transplantation in the chronic period post‐SCI.
