GFP-labeled Schwann cell-like cells derived from hair follicle epidermal neural crest stem cells promote the acellular nerve allografts to repair facial nerve defects in rats

CONCLUSIONS: EPI-NCSC-SCLCs could promote functional and morphological recovery of rat facial nerve defects, and GFP labeling could track the transplanted EPI-NCSC-SCLCs in vivo for a certain period of time. These may provide a novel choice for clinical treatment of peripheral nerve defects.PMID:38642790 | DOI:10.1016/j.yexcr.2024.114049
