Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to see if pre-treating Wharton's Jelly Mesenchymal Stem Cells (WJ-MSCs) with valproic acid (VPA) would enhance their ability to migrate and improve kidney recovery after ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) in rats.
- Researchers conducted experiments with 150 rats divided into five groups and assessed recovery through various analyses over different time intervals.
- Results showed that WJ-MSCs and VPA improved kidney function and antioxidant levels more effectively than IRI alone, with the combination treatment providing the best outcomes by promoting specific gene expressions linked to kidney protection.
