چکیده

Background: Cellular, molecular and transplantation studies using mouse and rat models of neurological diseases have revealed that Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSC) represent a reliable candidate for cellular therapies for neurological conditions, including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and Spinal Cord Injury (SCI). However, evaluation of safety aspects associated with route and dose of cell infusion, pivotal issues in cell therapy, has not been tested in large animals.

Intrauterine xenotransplantation of human Wharton jelly-derived mesenchymal stem cells into the liver of rabbit fetuses: A preliminary study for in vivo expression of the human liver genes

Objective(s): End-stage hepatic failure is a potentially life-threatening condition for which orthotopic liver transplantation is the only effective treatment. However, a shortage of available donor organs for transplantation each year results in the death of many patients waiting for liver transplantation. Xenotransplantation, or the transplantation of cells, tissues, or organs between differe...

Induction of general anaesthesia with intraosseous injection of thiopental in rabbits

The technique of intraosseous (IO) infusion has been reemerged as an alternative route of intravascular access for the delivery of fluids and some medications. Complications of IO infusion occur rarely and include fractures and osteomyelitis after long-term use of IO access. The purpose of this study was to compare the efficiency of induction of anaesthesia by a standard intravenous route and a...
