Model: Spinal cord contusion produced with the NYU Impactor following laminectomy
Acute SHED transplantation promoted functional recovery from the first week after contusion, increased spinal vimentin-positive cells at 24 and 48 h, increased S100B and Kir4.1 bioavailability and reduced glial scar formation, consistent with a paracrine neuroprotective action.
