Schematic illustration of pathological and cellular reactions after contusive spinal cord injury in rats (A) and transplantation of native (C) or genetically modified vegf and gdnf genes hUCB MCs (B). The transplantation of genetically modified vegf and gdnf genes hUCB cells leads to a significant improvement in recovery of the motor function, provides for a better preservation of tissues, reduces glial scar formation and also induces prominent axonal sparing/regeneration in comparison to controls or native hUCB MC therapy.
