Summary
This study tested mesenchymal stromal cell therapy in preterm piglets with feeding-induced necrotizing enterocolitis, a model chosen for its similarity to premature human infants. A medium intraperitoneal dose improved clinical scores and reduced gross and microscopic intestinal injury, while tissue and cytokine analyses indicated restored intestinal integrity and reduced inflammation. UID UCT-2112 temperature microchips supported clinical monitoring of the piglets.
