This trial is recruiting individuals with complete chronic spinal cord injuries to test the safety and effect of implanting a scaffold structure loaded with bone marrow cells or bone marrow-derived stem cells. The scaffold (NeuroRegen) provides a suitable growth environment for the cells. Participants will undergo spinal surgery for the implantation of the scaffold and cells into the spinal cord. Researchers will assess the safety of the procedure and measure whether it promotes neurological recovery. Note: This study is enrolling by invitation only.
