title: Comparison of different needle diameters and flow rates on bone marrow mononuclear stem cell viability: an ex vivo experimental study.
abstract: Considerable information is available regarding the experimental and clinical applications of bone marrow derived stem cells (BMDSC) for regenerative medicine. Optimized stem cell delivery systems might help to maintain better stem cell viability. We have investigated whether needle diameters and flow rates through the needles cause any difference in terms of BMDSC viability.
