چکیده

Background MAS is a life-threatening complication seen predominantly in children with SoJIA, often difficult to recognize because specific diagnostic criteria for MAS have not yet been devised. MAS is characterized by an overwhelming inflammatory reaction driven by excessive T cell expansion and hemophagocytic macrophages. Preliminary studies suggest that high sIL-2R α serum levels and sCD163 might be useful as diagnostic markers for MAS. This study assesses the expression of CD163 and CD68 in bone marrow cells of patients with MAS and especially in those with SoJIA who developed MAS.

Sertoli cell condition medium can induce germ like cells from bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells

Objective(s): Although many researchers have confirmed induction of germ cells from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs), there are no reports that confirm spontaneous differentiation of germ cells from BMMSCs. In this study, we have evaluated the effect of adult Sertoli cell condition medium (SCCM) as a mutative factor in the induction of germ cells from BMMSCs. Materials and Methods: ...
