Stem cell transplantation is one of the therapeutic options available to repair damaged organs. However, transplanted cells entail several challenges including their survival in diabetes-affected injured tissue. This study was designed to determine the effects of preconditioning of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) with N-acetyl cysteine (NAC), a widely used antioxidant drug.
