Genetic stability of pluripotent stem cells during anti-cancer therapies
Regenerative medicine is a rapidly growing field that holds promise for the treatment of many currently unresponsive diseases. Stem cells (SCs) are undifferentiated cells with long-term self-renewal potential and the capacity to develop into specialized cells. SC-based therapies constitute a novel and promising concept in regenerative medicine. Radiotherapy is the most frequently used method in...
متن کاملSignificance of Cancer Stem Cells in Anti-Cancer Therapies
Stem cells are the focus of cutting edge research interest because of their competence both to self-renew and proliferate, and to differentiate into a variety of tissues, offering enticing prospects of growing replacement organs in vitro, among other possible therapeutic implications. It is conceivable that cancer stem cells share a number of biological hallmarks that are different from their n...
متن کاملA Study of Cytogenetic Stability of Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells Using Karyotyping and Comet Assay Techniques
Background & Aims: Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) have the capability to undergo unlimited selfrenewal and differentiation into all cell types in the body. These cells are artificially derived from a nonpluripotent cell, typically human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs). The study of cytogenetic stability of these cells, in order to use iPS cells and apply studies in therapeutic applications, i...
متن کاملInduced Pluripotent Stem Cells: Advances in the Quest for Genetic Stability during Reprogramming Process
Evaluation of the extent and nature of induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) genetic instability is important for both basic research and future clinical use. As previously demonstrated regarding embryonic stem cells, such DNA aberrations might affect the differentiation capacity of the cells and increase their tumorigenicity. Here, we first focus on the contribution of multiple DNA damage respo...
متن کاملInduced Pluripotent Stem Cells: Challenges and Opportunities
Regenerative capacity of mammals is limited and can rarely regenerate a specific organ or tissue fully. Due to these limitations, regenerative medicine seeks efficient and safe cell sources for regeneration of damaged tissues and organs or treatment for incurable diseases. Human embryonic stem cells (HESCs) hold two important properties called self renewal and pluripotency. However, the use of ...
