Abstract
The development of regenerative medicine for spinal cord injury (SCI) and intractable diseases of the nervous system using neural progenitor cells (NPCs) has shown great promise, and several clinical trials have begun. In addition, ex vivo gene therapy using genetically engineered NPCs was recently initiated in the clinical setting by Baloh et al., putatively showing enhanced therapeutic effects. Thus, the era of next-generation NPC transplantation therapy is beginning to dawn.
