Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells and Transplantation
Dr. Plant describes the history of spinal cord injury, how induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are made, and how these cells can be transplanted into the spinal cord to improve the outcomes of patients with SCI.
Our study demonstrates that a hydrogel designed to protect regenerative cells during injection significantly improves cell survival and enhances recovery in rats with spinal cord injuries. This gel, outperforming saline, not only increased the survival of injected Schwann cells but also led to substantial improvements in the rats' strength and coordination
