Figure 4. Distribution of NPCs in the dorsal horn and ventral horn regions of SCI mice compared to surgical control mice.

A. Representative images of LacZ staining demonstrating the distribution of NPCs in the dorsal horn regions of the control and moderate SCI mouse spinal cords. B. Representative images of LacZ staining demonstrating the distribution of NPCs in the ventral horn regions of the control and moderate SCI mouse spinal cords. C. Quantification of NPC distribution in the central canal (C.C), upper central canal (up-C.C.), left dorsal horn (LDH) and right dorsal horn (RDH) of SCI mice compared to surgical control mice (n=3 mice; 5 sections/mouse; *p<0.05; **p<0.02 compared to control respectively). D. Quantification of NPC distribution in the left ventral horn (LVH) and right ventral horn (RVH) of SCI mice compared to surgical control mice (n=3 mice; 5 sections/mouse; *p<0.01; **p<0.05 compared to control respectively).
