Background: Acellular nerve allografts (ANAs) have been successfully applied to bridge facial nerve defects, and transplantation of stem cells may enhance the regenerative results. Up to now, application of hair follicle epidermal neural crest stem cell-derived Schwann cell-like cells (EPI-NCSC-SCLCs) combined with ANAs for bridging facial nerve defects has not been reported.
Methods: The effect of ANAs laden with green fluorescent protein (GFP)-labeled EPI-NCSC-SCLCs (ANA + cells) on bridging rat facial nerve trunk defects (5-mm-long) was detected by functional and morphological examination, as compared with autografts and ANAs, respectively.
