Abstract:Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been widely used in therapeutic applications for many decades. However, more and more evidence suggests that factors such as the site of origin and pre-implantation treatment have a crucial impact on the result. This study investigates the role of freshly isolated MSCs in the lacrimal gland after allogeneic transplantation. For this purpose, MSCs from transgenic GFP mice were isolated and transplanted into allogeneic and syngeneic recipients. While the syngeneic MSCs maintain… Show more
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.
