EF stimulated NSCs transplantation for spinal cord injury. A. SCI surgery and NSCs transplantation design. B. EF pre-stimulated EGFP-NSCs expanded from the injection site after transplanted into the impacted spinal cord for 0, 14 and 28 days. Scale bars for the EGFP images: 20 μm; Scale bar for the spinal cord map: 1 mm. C. EF pre-stimulation promoted higher NSCs survival percentage (EGFP-NSCs count/injected 105 cells X 100%) in the injured spinal cord, comparing to the NoEF NSCs transplantation group. * P < 0.05 and ** P < 0.01 were considered as significantly different between EF and NoEF groups. n = 5 mice in EF and n = 6 mice in NoEF group
