(A–B) Surgical procedure for implantation of conduits into completely transected rat spinal cords. (C) Gross appearance of spinal cords 8 weeks after implantation of the conduits. (D–E) Confocal fluorescent images of NSC survival in the conduit+NT-3+NSCs (D) and conduit+NSCs (E) groups 8 weeks after implantation. (F) Percentage of NSC survival for each group. Scale bar  =  100 µm; *P<0.05; n = 7.
