Spinal Cord Injury and Ependymal Cells

This research sheds light on the natural regeneration that occurs in the area of damaged spinal cord tissue. The surprise here is the role that Edendymal Progenitor Cells are playing in repair mechanism vs Neural Stem Progenitors. 
In this publication, researchers have employed genetic fate mapping to characterize a candidate neural stem cell population in the adult spinal cord [...]
