Mesenchymal Stem Cells Prevent Hydrocephalus After Severe Intraventricular Hemorrhage [Basic Sciences]

Conclusions—
Intraventricular transplantation of umbilical cord blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells significantly attenuated the posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus and brain injury after IVH. This neuroprotective mechanism appears to be mediated by the anti-inflammatory effects of these cells.
