Effect of Transplantation of Mesenchymal Stem Cells on the Density of Pial Microvascular Network in Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats of Different Age

Аннотация

Using a TV device for studying microcirculation (×40), we analyzed the density of the whole microvascular network and the density of arterioles in the pia mater of the sensorimotor cortex in SHR rats of different ages (3-4 and 12 months) after intracerebral transplantation of human mesenchymal stem cells. We found that the density of pial microvascular network in SHR rats receiving transplantation of human mesenchymal stem cells increased to a level observed in young Wistar-Kyoto rats.
