Hydrogel encapsulated stem cell grafts elicit directed regeneration of endogenous axons to recover walking in paralyzed rats. Rattus norvegicus

The research objective is to utilize a biodegradable hydrogel to co-encapsulate human neuroepithelial stem cells (NESCs) and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to promote axonal regeneration and restore function in rats following spinal cord injury.
