Intrathecal injection of human placental mesenchymal stem cells derived exosomes significantly improves functional recovery in spinal cord injured rats.

These findings demonstrate the effectiveness of HPMSC-Exosomes as a therapeutic method to improve functional recovery, reduce pathological changes associated with injury, and prevent chronicity after SCI. The neuroprotective and anti-apoptotic potential of HPMSCs- Exosomes may be a promising therapeutic approach for SCI. Another result was the importance of intrathecal injection of exosomes in the acute phase, which accelerated the healing process. Furthermore, the myelogram can be a feasible and suitable method to confirm the accuracy of intrathecal injection and examine the subarachnoid space in the laboratory animals.
