The ependymal cells in rat host spinal cord were studied after transplantation of fetal cerebral cortex homografts. Adult Sprague-Dawley male rats had pieces of El4 fetal rat cortex pressure-injected into the spinal cord at T6. The tissue was prepared for light and electron microscopy and studied fo

## Abstract Semaphorin 7A (Sema7A) is involved in the formation of the central nervous system during development by operating axon guidance and neuronal migration. We investigated the expression of the TGFฮฒโinducible Sema7A following spinal cord injury (SCI). After SCI, Sema7A^+^ cells accumulated
## Experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE), an animal model for multiple sclerosis (MS) , is a demyelinating autoimmune disease of the central nervous system (CNS). The proinflammatory cytokine TNFโฃ, as an endogenous mediator of inflammation, plays an important role in the pathogenesis of EA
Rat spinal neurons expressing lectin RL-29 are visualized immunohistochemically. RL-29 immunoreactive (RL-29 IR) neurons are found in the lateral parts of laminae V-VII, designated as the intermediolateral cell column (IML) in the thoracic cord, the sacral parasympathetic nucleus (SPN) in the lumbos
## Abstract The goal of this study was to ascertain whether olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs) were able to promote axonal regeneration and functional recovery when transplanted 45 days after complete transection of the thoracic spinal cord in adult rats. OECs promoted partial restitution of supras
