The ability of transplanted induced neural stem cells (iNSCs) to promote functional recovery after spinal cord injury and the mechanism by which iNSCs migrate to injured areas are poorly understood. Stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) is a cytokine, whereas CXCR4 is its cognate receptor. The aim of this study was to determine whether SDF-1 regulates the migration of iNSCs and to explore the potential mechanism by which iNSCs promotes functional recovery.
