Seventy experimental transplantation studies utilizing rodent fetal spinal cord-derived tissue are listed in this table. Studies utilizing transplantation of human cells, adult rodent stem cells, or cells obtained from fetal rodent tissues other than spinal cord are not included. Note that some studies utilized embryos of multiple ages, and those are duplicated in each applicable row.
