Abstract
⺠This review covers cell therapy to enhance neuroplasticity after spinal cord injury. ⺠Plasticity occurs through axonal regeneration, synaptogenesis and tissue sparing. ⺠Cells can act to replace damaged glia and to enhance trophism. ⺠Several cell types increase neuroplasticity when transplanted in animal models. ⺠Combination therapy (multiple cell types or agents) shows greater functional efficacy.
