Neural Stem Cells and Gene Therapy: Prospects for Repairing the Injured Spinal Cord

Transplantation of neural stem cells and precursor cells together with gene therapy offers great promise for spinal cord repair. Specific research goals include improving neuronal survival, promoting functional recovery through axonal regeneration, compensating for demyelination and replacing lost c...
