This study describes and validates a new method of effectively seeding decellularized nerve allografts with mesenchymal stromal cells. This method is reproducible, distributes cells homogenously over the graft, and does not traumatize the intraneural architecture of the allograft. Use of this validated seeding technique will permit critical comparison of graft outcomes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
