Funded Activity Summary

At present, human spinal cord injury is a permanent disease, as damaged cells (neurons) within the spinal cord are unable to regrow. Early in development, some species have the ability to regrow neurons across a damaged area. The cells that support this regrowth are unknown. These supportive cells could be an effective means of stimulating regrowth in the adult spinal cord. Our aim is to investigate the growth potential of rat embryonic spinal cord cells, for adult spinal cord cell regrowth.
