Multiple Intravenous Transplantations of Mesenchymal Stem Cells Effectively Restore Long-Term Blood Glucose Homeostasis by Hepatic Engraftment and β-Cell Differentiation in Streptozocin-Induced Diabetic Mice

Depletion of pancreatic β-cells results in insulin insufficiency and diabetes mellitus (DM). Single transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells exhibits short-term effects in some preclinical studies. Here, we further investigated the long-term therapeutic effects of multiple intravenous MSC transplan...
