TT decreased tissue structural damage and improved functional recovery after SCI. a HE-stained sections at 7 and 14 d after SCI. Scale bars = 500 µm. b Quantification of the cavity area; columns represent the mean ± SD (n = 5). c BBB scores in the S, M, and TM groups. d TUNEL staining in the epicentre at 7 d after SCI. Scale bars represent 500 µm and 100 µm. e Quantitative estimation of apoptotic cells. Columns represent the mean ± SD (n = 5) (#p, *p < 0.05; ##p, **p < 0.01; ###p, ***p < 0.001)
