Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) transplantation is used for treatment of many diseases. The
paracrine role of MSCs in tissue regeneration is attracting particular attention. We investigate …

Paracrine signaling by bone-marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) plays a major
role in tissue repair. Although the production of regulatory cytokines by MSC transplantation …

Traumatic cervical syndrome comprises the various symptoms that occur as a result of
external force such as that of a traffic accident. In 1995, the Quebec Task Force on whiplash-…

Study Design. Experimental study of spinal cord injury using an organotypic slice culture.
Objective. To clarify the mechanism of corticospinal axon regeneration following …

Background Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) were shown to have angiogenic potential
contributing to neovascularization. However, a clear definition of mouse EPCs by cell surface …

Muscle injuries in sport activities can pose challenging problems in traumatology and sports
medicine. The best treatment for muscle injury has not been clearly established except for …

Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) derived from bone marrow and blood can differentiate
into endothelial cells and promote neovascularization. In addition, EPCs are a promising cell …

Introduction To investigate the efficacy of the transplantation of autologous bone marrow-derived
mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) under arthroscopy with microfracture (MFX) …

Study Design. Intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring with transcranial electric motor-evoked
potentials was performed on patients who underwent cervical laminoplasty at a …

We established a new magnetic targeting system in which bone marrow stromal cells migrate
through the cerebrospinal fluid to the desired site in the spinal cord in rats. Subarachnoid …
