The center of the spinal cord may be central to its repair

A recent PLoS Biology report from Meletis et al. (2008) strongly suggests that ependymal cells are a key source of endogenous stem cells in the spinal cord. Advances in understanding endogenous neural stem cells may facilitate repair of the injured central nervous system.
