Fig. 1From: The influence of systemically or locally administered mesenchymal stem cells on tissue repair in a rat oral implantation modelIn vivo experimental design. a Photographs of the experimental implant (left panel) and implant in the rat oral cavity (right panel). b Experimental protocol of in vivo study: Implantation was performed at the same time as tooth extraction, then 1Â day after implantation, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were injected via the tail vein or into the gingivobuccal fold around the dental implant. Epithelial tissue structure around the implant was observed after 4Â weeks. MSC accumulation into various tissues was observed 1, 3, 5, and 7Â days after MSCs injection. c Photograph of MSC administration into the model rat with the experimental implantBack to article page
