Abstract
BACKGROUND: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can migrate from the injection site to nearby injured areas, where they promote tissue repair. This expands the clinical applications of stem cells in regenerative medicine and improves treatment outcomes in patients with various injuries and diseases.
AIM: The work aimed to study the migration behavior of MSCs from the injection site to injured areas and evaluate their role in tissue repair during dental implantation.
METHODS: We labeled adipose-derived rat MSCs with a fluorescent dye and transplanted them into an area with a critical bone defect in a rat’s parietal bone.
RESULTS: Intravital dynamic imaging of MSCs in rats showed that the cells remained in the area of the bone defect and migrated to the lesion from distant injection sites during the 14-day follow-up.
CONCLUSION: Important evidence was obtained regarding the migration of MSCs and their potential for tissue regeneration in bone defects. MSCs can migrate from the injection site to nearby injured areas, where they promote tissue repair. This expands the clinical applications of stem cells in regenerative medicine and improves treatment outcomes in patients with various injuries and diseases.
