Overexpression of tropomyosin receptor kinase A improves the survival and Schwann-like cell differentiation of bone marrow stromal cells in nerve grafts for bridging rat sciatic nerve defects

These results demonstrate that TrkA overexpression can improve the survival and Schwann-like cell differentiation of BMSCs and prevent cell death in nerve grafts, which may have potential implication in advancing cell transplantation for peripheral nerve repair.
