Normalized Gray Matter Cross-sectional Area by Prenatal Treatment.

Serial sections at the MMC defect epicenter for each lamb were imaged and the cross-sectional area of the gray matter measured and normalized to the cross-sectional area for the corresponding lumbar level of normal lambs. Lambs that were repaired with Medium density PMSC-ECM had a significantly higher mean gray matter cross-sectional area (0.85 ± 0.29% of normal) when compared to lambs that received Low density PMSC-ECM (0.35 ± 0.28% of normal) or the ECM vehicle alone (0.36 ± 0.30% of normal).
