Neural conduits delivering stem cells enhance spinal cord axonal regeneration. (A) Neural conduits simultaneously provide structural guidance for axonal regeneration and act as carriers for stem cell transplantation. Stem cells differentiate into neurons (dark blue) and oligodendrocytes (light blue) that myelinate regenerated spinal cord axons (green). (B) Inhibition of axonal regeneration by glial scar after spinal cord injury.
