A comparative study of recovery between the T-817MA-treated group and the non-treated group using a 12-week-old Long-Evans rat frozen coagulation spinal cord injury model showed excellent recovery results in the T-817MA-treated group. Due to the difference in the composition of spinal motor neurons between rats and primates, we started experiments in primates with the aim of early clinical application. A spinal cord half-cut injury model was created in Japanese macaques, and a functional recovery experiment was attempted in the same manner as in rats. It was confirmed that there was a difference in functional recovery between the T-817-administered individuals and the non-administered individuals.
