The Safety of Autologous Human Schwann Cells (ahSC) in Subjects With Subacute Spinal Cord Injury (SCI)
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety of autologous human Schwann cells (ahSC) transplantation in subjects with subacute SCI. For humans with subacute SCI, we hypothesize that axons might show improved function if myelin repair is induced with the implantation of ahSC. In addition spinal cord cavitation may be reduced, and neural sprouting and plasticity may be enhanced via neurotrophic effects.
