    Abstract

    Clinically Relevant Mesenchymal Stem/Stromal Cell Sheet Transplantation Method for Kidney Disease

    Investigators employed cell sheets engineered from clinical-grade human clonal bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells and transplanted these onto intact renal capsule to evaluate their therapeutic ability in the rat ischemia reperfusion injury model.
