Full thickness injury seems to exterminate tissue stem cells of esophagus. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can differentiate into specific cell lineages and have the capacity of homing in sites of injury.<jats:italic>Aim and Methods.<\/jats:italic>We aimed to investigate the efficacy of MSC transplantation, on prevention of esophageal damage and stricture formation after caustic esophagus injury in rats. 54 rats were allocated into four groups; 4 rats were sacrificed for MSC production.

Standard caustic esophageal burns were created and MSCs were transplanted 24 hours after.

The histopathology damage score was not significantly different from controls.
