Stem cell enhanced healing of gastric perforation

What is it about?

This study examined the effect of local implantation of adipose mesenchymal stem cells (ADMSC) to enhance healing of gastric perforation after surgical suture. The results of our study indicated that local injection of ADMSC worked better than the approach of topical spraying for treatment of sutured gastric perforation. Moreover, local implantation of ADMSC enhanced healing of gastric perforation significantly.

Why is it important?

This is an important study to implicate the future clinical application of local stem cell therapy to enhance healing of gastrointestinal perforations. The results of this study will further extend to clinical application for improvement in peptic ulcer healing.
