Popis: Limb transplantation is a viable option for reconstruction after traumatic limb loss; however, functional recovery can be suboptimal. The aim of this study was to determine whether mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) administration can improve limb transplant functional recovery.Orthotopic syngeneic hindlimb transplants were performed in Lewis rats, followed by topical and intravenous injections of syngeneic MSCs (5 × 10MSCs expanded ex vivo were CD29Bone marrow-derived MSC therapy appears to improve sensory function recovery in a rat limb transplant model.
