Ultrasound-guided in Utero Transplantation of Placental Stem Cells into the Liver of Crigler–Najjar Syndrome Model Rat

Conclusions. Here, we have introduced ultrasound-guided IUCT of hAEC using a small-animal model of a congenital metabolic disorder without immunosuppression. The immunological advantage of IUCT was demonstrated with xenogeneic IUCT. This procedure is suitable to conduct preclinical studies for exploring the feasibility and efficacy of ultrasound-guided transuterine cell injection using rodent disease models.
