Figure 1From: Novel mechanism for mesenchymal stem cells in attenuating peritoneal adhesion: accumulating in the lung and secreting tumor necrosis factor α-stimulating gene-6Effects of intraperitoneally injected mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on the severity of acute peritoneal adhesions. MSCs injected intraperitoneally into rats either immediately or 4, 12, 24, or 48 hours after peritoneal scraping yielded no apparent reduction in adhesions (n = 6).Back to article page
