Special Issue: Mesenchymal Stem Cells

چکیده
Over the last few years, the mesenchymal stromal compartment of the bone marrow has regained interest. The main reason for this resurgence is the recognition of their immunomodulatory properties and their prominent role in the maintenance and regulation of hematopoiesis. This has simultaneously prompted preclinical and clinical studies trying to take advantage of these properties and, at the same time, basic studies that have tried to dissect the bone marrow stromal compartment and the specific functions that different stromal cells have in the regulation of hematopoiesis and immunity. In this minireview we will summarize our contributions to the functions of mesenchymal stem cells in regulating hematopoietic stem cells. By putting them in a broader context, we will discuss the emerging role of mesenchymal stem cells as key integrators of neuro-endocrine signals, able to couple whole-organism demands to fine-tuned responses in remote stem cell niches.

Osteogenic Differentiation of Mesenchymal Stem Cells Via Osteoblast- Imprinted Substrate: In Vitro and In Vivo Evaluation in Rat Model
BACKGROUND: Stem cells have great effects in clinical cell-based therapy. Accordingly, controlling the behavior and directing the fate of stem cells cultured in the laboratory is an important issue. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to evaluate osteogenic properties of adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) which differentiated toward osteogenic linage by osteoblast-imprinted substr...

Background & Objective: Diabetes is a major chronic metabolic disease in the world. Islet transplantation is a way to treat diabetes. Unfortunately, this method is restricted due to graft rejection and lack of donor islets. Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCS) have the ability to differentiate into Insulin-Producing Cells (IPCs). In this study, Human Umbilical Mesenchymal Stem Cells (HUMSCS) were in...

Multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells or mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are mainly isolated from bone marrow or fat tissue. Because of their potential of multilineage differentiation towards bone, cartilage and fat tissue, they were initially evaluated to develop innovative strategies for tissue engineering applications. More recently, they have gained interest based on their immunomodulatory pr...

Purpose: This study was carried out to isolate mesenchymal stem cells from full-term cord blood and to differentiate these cells into osteoblastic cells. Materials and Methods: It this study, mesenchymal stem cells were isolated from cord blood and expanded by being cultured in the flask several times. First, the cord blood monoeuc1earcells were separated by ficoll - Hypac before they were cul...

Background and Objective: Mesenchymal stem cells are promising sources of stem cells for tissue repair because of their ability to differentiate into different cells, easy proliferation and culture, and immunomodulatory properties. Despite extensive research on the immunophenotype of mesenchymal stem cells, a lack of specific markers comprises challenges for researchers. The aim of this researc...

There are two main categories for stem cells a cording to their origin: Embryonic Stem Cells and Adult Stem Cell. Mesenchymal stem cell, supporting hematopoetic stem cells in bone marrow, can regenerate tissues such as bone, cartilage, muscle, tendon and fatty tissue. These cells were recognized for the first time by Friedenstein and Petrokova who could isolate theme from rat bone marrow.Mesenc...
