چکیده مقاله

Recent studies have demonstrated that adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can attenuate ischemic tissue injury, possibly by their paracrine effect or differentiation into local cell types. But homing of transplanted cells either transfused systematically or via direct intra-lesional injection, is reported to be very low and transient, which reduces the therapeutic effects. CXCR4 is identified as crucial for homing and engraftment of stem cells. In this study, we overexpressed CXCR4 on Adipose-derive MSC to enhance their level of engraftment and perhaps improve their translational effectiveness.
