Adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells seeded onto a decellularized nerve allograft enhances angiogenesis in a rat sciatic nerve defect model.

Neoangiogenesis of decellularized allograft nerves was enhanced by stem cell seeding, in particular by differentiated MSCs. The pattern of vascularization was different between decellularized allograft nerves seeded with MSCs compared to autograft nerves.
