    Abstract:
    Quantitative analysis of blood vessels in the distal segment of rat sciatic nerve after its ligation for 40 sec and subperineurial administration of mesenchymal stem cells or dissociated cells of rat embryonic spinal cord was carried our by immunohistochemical tracing of von Willebrand factor, a marker of endothelial cells of blood vessels. It was found that the number of blood vessels per unit area of the nerve trunk in 21 days after injury and administration of mesenchymal stem cells increased by more than 1.5 times in comparison with the control (damaged nerve). After administration of dissociated cells of the embryonic spinal cord, this effect was not observed. It is assumed that mesenchymal stem cells stimulate the growth of vessels of the damaged nerve via production of angiogenic factors.
