Abstract

This study reports the clinical course of two patients with osteogenesis imperfecta who received prenatal human fetal mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) transplantation and postnatal boosting with same-donor MSCs. Findings suggest that prenatal transplantation of allogeneic human fetal MSCs in osteogenesis imperfecta appears safe and is of likely clinical benefit and that retransplantation with same-donor cells is feasible. Further studies are required.
