SHED-Ex promotes functional motor recovery after TBI. a Establishment of the TBI model in rats. b Motor assessment. The Basso, Beattie, and Bresnahan (BBB) scores for each group from 1 to 21 days after TBI. c Lesion reconstruction at 48 h and 2 weeks post-transplant. Scale bar = 50 μm (d) CD68 staining for activated microglia at 48 h and 2 weeks post-transplant. Scale bar = 50 μm. (e) Treatment with SHED-Ex significantly reduces the number of CD68+ microglia in the brains of rats after TBI. # P < 0.05 compared with sham group. *** P < 0.001 compared with TBI group.
