Human spinal cord neural stem cells (NSC), created using an innovative method, were seen to regenerate functional neurons in the damaged tissue of rats with spinal injuries, according to researchers. Their study, “Generation and post-injury integration of human spinal cord neural stem cells,” was published in the journal Nature Methods. Spinal cord NSC were already known to have great potential to regenerate damaged spinal cords and re-establish the neural circuitry. However, these cells had never been created in the lab (in vitro)…
