Locally transplanted enteric glia improve functional and structural recovery in a rat model of spinal cord injury
Abstract
BACKGROUND: We have previously reported that adult enteric glia (EG) facilitate the growth of transected dorsal root axons into the uninjured spinal cord to form functional connections with their targets. OBJECTIVE: The present study investigated the effects of EG on spinal cord function, tissue injury, and axonal regeneration following transplantation into injured rat spinal cords, according to histological and functional outcomes. DESIGN, …
