The Utility of 3D Ultramicroscopy for Evaluating Cellular Therapies After Spinal Cord Injury
, 2012 Cell therapies have shown promise for repairing the injured spinal cord in experimental models and are now being evaluated in clinical trials for the treatment of human spinal cord injury (SCI). To date, experimental evaluation of implanted cell survival,

Transplantation of olfactory ensheathing cells into spinal cord lesions restores breathing and climbing [PDF]
, 2003 One of the most devastating effects of damage to the upper spinal cord is the loss of the ability to breathe; patients suffering these injuries can be kept alive only with assisted ventilation. No known method for repairing these injuries exists.

Neurogenesis and apoptosis in the developmentally regulated loss of spinal cord regeneration. [PDF]
, 2006 Unlike the adult mammal, the chick can successfully regenerate its spinal cord until embryonic day (E) 13. Multiple factors may contribute to the subsequent loss of regenerative capacity, although most research has concentrated on axonal re-growth ...

Impaired transmission in the corticospinal tract and gait disability in spinal cord injured persons [PDF]
, 2010 Rehabilitation following spinal cord injury is likely to depend on recovery of corticospinal systems. Here we investigate whether transmission in the corticospinal tract may explain foot drop (inability to dorsiflex ankle) in persons with spinal cord ...
