Abstract excerpt
The superior laryngeal nerve (SLN) is known to play an essential role in the laryngeal reflex and swallowing. Damage to the SLN causes difficulty swallowing, that is, dysphagia. We successfully developed a novel rat model of dysphagia by SLN injury, in which we could evaluate the neuroregenerative capacity of stem cell from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED). The dysphagic rats exhibit weight loss and...
