Tissue Engineering: From Basic Sciences to Clinical Perspectives
Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine are interrelated terms and go hand in hand whether we discuss about cells (of any kind especially stem and progenitor cells), bio-materials as matrices (2D films, 3D forms of scaffolds, nanofibers, hydrogels, nanoparticles, aerogel, microcapsules, mats, biogel for 3D printing, blends of naturals and/or synthetics , and others), and addition of bioact...
متن کاملStem Cells So far! Stem Cell Therapy Facts and Principles
Stem cells are cells with the ability to divide for indefinite periods and to give rise to specialized cells. Stem cell therapy has now been emerged as an extraordinary promise to treat a wide range of diseases and conditions. However, except blood stem cell transfer by bone marrow transplant which has been used as an standard practice for more than 50 years, nearly all of therapeutic potenti...
متن کاملStrategies to Improve Homing of Stem Cells to achieve better Efficacy in Stem Cell Therapy
Stem/progenitor cell based therapeutic approach in our daily routine clinical practice, has been elusive dream in medical sciences and improvement of stem cell homing as one of major challenges in cell therapy programs, has been considered a promising milestone. It has been proved that stem/progenitor cells exhibit a homing response to injured tissues/organs, mediated by interactions of chemoki...
متن کاملHematopoietic stem cell transplant therapy, clinical trials, complications, and quality of life for patients with Sickle cell anemia: Clinical potential and future perspectives
Background: Sickle cell anemia (SCA) is an inherited monogenic disorder. The clinical symptoms of SCA are protean, including vaso-occlusion, hemolysis, early stroke, leg ulcers, multi-organ failure, and increased risk of premature death. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is the only treatment identified to reduce SCA-related organ damage. Unfortunately, graft rejection is a significant im...
متن کاملStem cell therapy for cerebral ischemia: from basic science to clinical applications.
Recent stem cell technology provides a strong therapeutic potential not only for acute ischemic stroke but also for chronic progressive neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis with neuroregenerative neural cell replenishment and replacement. In addition to resident neural stem cell activation in the brain by neurotrophic fac...
