| Research Abstract |
Surviving rates of transplanted mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) significantly increased by rehabilitation in normal rats, disuse syndrome model of rats, traumatic brain injury model of rats and Parkinson's disease model of rats. In disuse syndrome model of rats and traumatic brain injury model of rats, rehabilitation significantly ameliorated behavioral scores. Additionally, transplanted MSCs are broadly found in the cerebrum with significant neuronal differentiation in disuse syndrome model of rats, Parkinson's disease model of rats. Rehabilitation also enhanced the expression of neurotrophic factors.
