Central canal ependymal cells proliferate extensively in response to traumatic spinal cord injury but not demyelinating lesions.

Central canal ependymal cells proliferate extensively in response to traumatic spinal cord injury but not demyelinating lesions.

The adult mammalian spinal cord has limited regenerative capacity in settings such as spinal cord injury (SCI) and multiple sclerosis (MS). Recent studies have revealed that ependymal cells lining the central canal possess latent neural stem cell potential, undergoing proliferation and multi-lineage...
