Progress in repair of sciatic nerve injury by bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells / 生物医学工程学杂志

ABSTRACT

Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) possess the potential of self-duplication, multi-directional differentiation, and also the ability to differentiate (in the direction of ectoderm) into neuron and neuroglial cells in vitro as well as to promote the reparation of sciatic nerve injury in vivo, especially for the reparation of the long-segment nerve. Progress in repair of sciatic nerve injury by BMSCs has been reviewed in this article.
