## Abstract Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a devastating condition characterized by disruption of axonal connections, failure of axonal regeneration, and loss of motor and sensory function. The therapeutic promise of neural stem cells has been focused on cell replacement, but many obstacles remain in

We describe an experimental model to study regeneration of lesioned corticospinal tract (CST) fibers in the adult rat spinal cord. After transection of all CST fibers at mid-thoracic level the gap is grafted with a sterile, cell-free collagen matrix. Two methods of collagen-application are used: 1)

## Abstract In vitro models of myelinating central nervous system axons have mainly been of two types, organotypic or dissociated. In organotypic cultures, the tissue fragment is thick and usually requires sectioning (physically or optically) before visual examination. In dissociated cultures, tiss

## Abstract There is a strong current interest in the use of cell transplantation for the treatment of spinal cord injuries. We report here the novel and potentially useful properties of an early cell in the Schwann cell lineage, the Schwann cell precursor (SCP). The experiments reveal a striking d
