(A) An aseptic package, a NeuroRegen scaffold bundle, and a scanning electron micrograph image of a single scaffold fiber. (B) Illustration of the canine T8 spinal cord resection model and implantation of the NeuroRegen scaffold loaded with hUC-MSCs at 2 months post-injury. (C) Assessment of locomotor recovery with Olby scores at the indicated time points post-injury. Canines in NeuroRegen scaffold with MSCs group showed the greatest locomotor improvement during the observation period. indicates the time point of T8 spinal cord injury; indicates the time point of scar tissue removal; * indicates P < 0.05 compared to the control group; and Δ indicates P < 0.05 compared to non-functionalized NeuroRegen scaffold group.
