(A) Schematic diagram of the experimental protocol. (B) SCI surgery at T8–9 spinal cord and treatment. 1–4 show the procedure of the operation. (C) The BBB score analysis during the observation period. Data are presented as mean ± SD (n = 16). *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 (one-way analysis of variance followed by Tukey’s post hoc test). BBB: Basso, Beattie and Bresnahan; NSCs: neural stem cells; SCI: spinal cord injury.
