Bone marrow stem cells with or without superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles as a magnetic targeting tool: Which is better in regeneration of neurolysed facial nerve? An experimental study.

Aim: This study was performed to evaluate neural regenerative capacities of bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) with or without superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) as a magnetic targeting tool after neurolysis of the facial nerve (FN) in albino rats.

Methods: Thirty-eight male albino rats were selected. Two of them were euthanized for normal FN histology assessment.
