Abstract

The article presents a clinical study on the use of stem cell-based therapy to restore the normal cerebral functions after exposure to acute carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. It notes that rats sensory, motor, and reflex function are not affected by the CO poisoning. It also discusses the bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) transplantation to promote recovery from brain failure and injury.
