Pluripotent Stem Cells for Cardiac Cell Therapy: The Application of Cell Sheet Technology

Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide despite many years of declining mortality rates in the Western world [1,2]. Myocardial infarction carries a short term mortality rate of about 7% even with aggressive therapy, and congestive heart failure with even more distressing 20% one-year mortality [3]. Despite significant advances in therapeutic modalities and risk-reduc...

Enhanced Cell Sheet Technology for Cartilage Repair

INTRODUCTION Cartilage is one of the most important bodily components in allowing one to walk painlessly. It is the connective tissue in your joints, providing smooth articulations and minimalizing friction between bones. Injuries to this tissue are very common and can be detrimental if not treated, due to its lack of intrinsic healing ability. There exist various known causes of cartilage inju...

Stem Cells as Potential Candidates for Psoriasis Cell-Replacement Therapy

Recent years have seen considerable progress in explaining the mechanisms of the pathogenesis of psoriasis, with a significant role played in it by the hyper-reactivity of Th1 and Th17 cells, Treg function disorder, as well as complex relationships between immune cells, keratinocytes, and vascular endothelium. The effect of stem cells in the epidermis and stem cells on T cells has been identifi...
