Improving the therapeutic efficacy of neural progenitor cell transplantation following spinal cord injury

Introduction: There have been a wide range of preclinical studies testing cellular therapies to repair the injured spinal cord, yet they remain a challenge to translate because of inconsistencies in efficacy, limited number of patients with acute/subacute SCI and the high costs of clinical trials.Area covered: This paper focusses on the therapeutic potential of neural precursor cells (NPCs) because they can provide the cellular components...
