Spinal Cord Injury Victims may Benefit from Stem Cell Transplantation Studies: Study

Stem cell transplantation may be an effective treatment option for spinal cord injury (SCI), say researchers. Using laboratory rats modeled with SCI, researchers in Spain found in laboratory tests on cells harvested from rats - specifically ependymal progenitor cells (epSPCs), multipotent stem cells found in adult tissues surrounding the ependymal canal of the spinal cord - responded to a variety of compounds through the activation of purinergic receptors ...
