Figure 5From: Human conditionally immortalized neural stem cells improve locomotor function after spinal cord injury in the ratAxonal sprouting in the injured spinal cords of control rats and rats transplanted with SPC-01 cells. Staining for GAP43 demonstrates more-intensive sprouting in the injured spinal cord tissue of rats transplanted with SPC-01 cells (A) compared with control animals (B). (C) Higher-magnification view of the transplant area, marked by the white line in (A). (D) Quantitative analysis of the number of GAP43-positive fibers in the spinal cord tissue of control and transplanted animals.Back to article page
