Clinical Trial of Human Fetal Brain-Derived Neural Stem/Progenitor Cell Transplantation in Patients with Traumatic Cervical Spinal Cord Injury

Figure 5

Sagittal T2W MRI scan of two SCI patients (upper panel: patient 8; lower panel: patient 15) at the time of injury (a, d), before transplantation as a baseline (b, e), and 1 year after transplantation (c, f). Follow-up findings showed progressive myelomalacic change at the site of cell transplantation (c) or myelomalacia and atrophy of the cord (f) in cell implantation areas. The white arrows mark the site of injury.
