While astrogliosis and NG2 deposition are not limited to sections containing the injury epicenter, in the absence of a visible injury epicenter, the widespread expression of both proteins along the spinal cord makes the analysis of these parameters challenging.

In the following sections, we discuss the effect of engrafted hCNS-SCns in relationship to lesion volume, tissue sparing, serotonergic fiber sprouting/regeneration, NG2 deposition, astrogliosis, and angiogenesis.

While we did not observe any changes in deposition of the scar-associated NG2 proteoglycan as a result of cell transplantation, the possibility that engrafted cells modified the physical component of astrogliosis remained unclear.
