Figure 1

Functional recovery after SPC-01 cell transplantation. Hindlimb locomotor function was assessed weekly with the open-field BBB test (A). A significant difference between the control and the transplanted animals was found at 4 weeks after SCI (*P < 0.05). The withdrawal latency of the hindpaw in response to a heat stimulus was measured weekly with the Plantar test (B). A significant difference in withdrawal latency compared with the controls appeared from 7 weeks after SCI (*P < 0.05). A statistically significant difference between the control and transplanted groups in the scores of the flat beam walking test (C) appeared at 7 weeks after SCI (6 weeks after transplantation) (*P < 0.05). Tx marks the day of transplantation.
