Histological Study on the Effects of Allogenic Bone Marrow Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells Along with Local Insulin Therapy on Osteosynthesis in Gap Defects of Radius in Diabetic Rabbit Model

摘要

Background: Diabetes mellitus impairs fracture healing causing bone repair abnormality which is insulin dependent. Exogenous insulin can accelerate fracture healing in diabetes by promoting bone remodeling and bone formation. Mesenchymal stem cell loaded scaffolds having osteoinductive and osteoconductive properties, may be used as an alternative for autogenous bone grafting. The current study aimed to investigate the efficacy of cultured allogenic bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cell implantation with insulin therapy for increasing osteosynthesis in bone gap defects in experimentally induced diabetic rabbits.
