Abstract
The role of organ preservation solution is fundamentally important in the transplantation therapy. We have established the effectiveness of the transplantation of mesenchymal stem cell on the alleviation of graft ischemia reperfusion injury in experimental rat model. Since it is well known that organ deterioration during preservation period exacerbate ischemia reperfusion injury, fresh graft is preferably used in transplantation. Thus, we examined whether the factors secreted by mesenchymal stem cells have the potency of elongation of storage time and improvement of graft survival when added to preservation solution.
