Clinical studies with combined approach of scaffolds and MSCs in SCI regeneration.

MSCs	Pre-treatment	Scaffold	SCI Patients	Follow-up	Outcomes	(Refs.)
Autologous BMSCs	Resection surgery to eliminate the glial scar tissue	NeuroRegen™	5 chronic SCI with complete thoracic or cervical transection	One-year	↑ Nerve regeneration; ↑ Autonomic nervous functions	(121)
Allogenic UCMSCs	Resection surgery to eliminate the glial scar tissue	NeuroRegen™	8 chronic SCI with complete thoracic or cervical transection	One-year	Recovery of some autonomic neural function	(122)

BMSCs, bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells; UCMSCs, umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells; SCI, spinal cord injury.
