Abstract

Overtime, various modalities of spinal cord injury (SCI) treatment have been trialed. Of these, the most attractive is the cellular transplantation of neural and mesenchymal stem cells. Extensive experimental studies have been done to identify the safety and effectiveness of their transplantation in animal and human models. In this chapter, the different sources, isolation and transplantation of these multipotent stem cells, and associated outcomes will be discussed.
