Steward and colleagues report that implants of E14 rat spinal-cord-derived multipotent neural progenitor cells are associated with ectopic deposits of cells, occasionally at long distances from a T3 spinal cord lesion and grafting site. Of 20 grafted rats, half showed ectopic cell deposits. One rat had a deposit of cells in the 4th ventricle, from which relatively few axons extended into the tegmentum. Half of animals had cells within six spinal segments of the lesion site, and of these, three had deposits more distantly.
