Özet

Background: Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a common and often irreversible lesion that can incapacitate patients. Precursor cells in the spinal cord proliferate in response to trauma, and this proliferation can be enhanced by exogenous stimuli such as specific growth factors. In the present study, we examined electron microscopic detection of the proliferation, distribution, and phenotypic fate of these precursor cells in the injured adult rat spinal cord.
