Locomotor function in experimental (hMSC) and two control (PBS and hFb) groups. (A) BBB (Basso, Beattie, Bresnahan) scores, (B) coupling scores and (C) ladder scores showed gradual restoration in experimental and control groups, but all three scales of experimental group (hMSC) at some periods (asterisks) were restored more than those of control group (hFb). PTD: post-transplantation day, PBS: control group received phosphate-buffered saline, hFb: control group received human fibroblast, hMSC: experimental group received human mesenchymal stem cell, *p < 0.05 by one-way ANOVA with Bonferroni post hoc test.
