Abstract

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) possess many properties that may make them suitable as transplanted therapeutic agents for ischemia/reperfusion injury (I/R). These properties include but are not limited to paracrine signaling [1], immunomodulation of the recipient environment [2, 3], and possibly differentiation into the injured tissue [4]. Several studies have investigated the effects of MSCs with respect to I/R of the heart [5], brain [6], and kidney [7]. However, the role of MSCs has not been determined in the setting of intestinal I/R.
