Figure 4

Amelioration of hypoesthesia in SCI-HSSC-grafted animals. Baseline and biweekly assessments of perceptive thresholds for (A) mechanical and (B) thermal stimuli, applied below the level of injury, showed a trend towards progressive recovery in SCI-HSSC-grafted animals. C: When expressed as percentages of the maximal possible effect for mechanical and thermal perceptive thresholds improvements, SCI-HSSC-treated animals showed significant improvements in sensory function for both mechanical and thermal components. (A-C: data expressed as mean ± SEM; A-B: repeated measures ANOVAs; C: Student t-tests). ANOVA, analysis of variance; HSSC, human fetal spinal cord-derived neural stem cells; SCI, spinal cord injury; SEM, standard error of the mean.
