Papillae implantation significantly reduced the increase of cytokine expression observed after spinal cord injury Papillae were implanted in a hemi-section lesion, spinal cords were collected at the lesion site after 1 week and proteins were extracted. Cytokine concentrations were measured using a multiplex array (Rat Cytokine Array / Chemokine Array 27 Plex) (n = 4).
