Induced human pluripotent stem cells: promises and open questions.
Adult cells have been reprogrammed into induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells by introducing pluripotency-associated transcription factors. Here, we discuss recent advances and challenges of in vitro reprogramming and future prospects of iPS cells for their use in diagnosis and cell therapy. The generation of patient-specific iPS cells for clinical application requires alternative strategies, be...
متن کاملMesenchymal stem cells for myocardial infarction: promises and pitfalls.
Recent studies indicate that cardiac transfer of adult stem cells can have a favorable impact on tissue perfusion and contractile performance of the infarcted heart. Several cell sources are being explored in an effort to regenerate infarcted myocardium, including hematopoietic stem cells, endothelial progenitor cells, cardiac resident stem cells, bone marrow–derived multipotent stem cells, and...
متن کاملStem cells and diabetes
Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic syndrome characterized by increased levels of blood glucose. Type 1 diabetic patients and patients with Type 2 diabetes suffering from defective insulin secretion rely on lifelong substitution with exogenous administration of insulin. Whole pancreas and purified pancreatic islet transplantation have offered the potential for independence from insulin injections....
متن کاملStem cells therapy for type 1 diabetes.
In this article, we have reviewed the developments of studies of stem cells therapy for type 1 diabetes since this century. Review of the literature was based on computer searches (PubMed) and our studies. Type 1 diabetes can now be ameliorated by islet transplantation, but this treatment is restricted by the scarcity of islet tissue. Hopes for a limitless supply of a substitute for primary isl...
