Characteristics of disease outcomes in G93A mice receiving hBMEPCs at symptomatic stage. Transplanted ALS mice with cell dose of 1 × 106 at 4 weeks post-treatment (A) significantly maintained body weight, (B) better extended hindlimbs, (C) delayed loss in muscle strength, and (D) stayed longer on rotarod vs. media-injected mice. Notable beneficial effects on motor function were determined in G93A mice 2–3 weeks after cell transplantation. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01.
