therapeutic uses of stem cells in endocrinology- review article
Authors
abstract
background: because of the ability of proliferation, regeneration, conversion to differentiated cells and tissue producing, stem cell therapy has important clinical implications for treatment of different diseases. in this chapter we discuss different kinds of stem cells that have been used in treatment of neurologic diseases, gastrointestinal diseases, heart diseases, bone disease, kidney disease, chronic wounds, graft versus heart disease, sepsis and respiratory diseases. then we will discuss stem cell therapy in treatment of diabetes which is one of the most important diseases of endocrinology and after that we will provide a brief summary of ethical challenges of stem cell transplantation.

Background: The main objective of this study was to systematically review the reported potency of cord blood stem cells in treating patients with neurological disorders such as cerebral palsy. Methods: PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane were searched thoroughly on September 2016 using the following search terms: “Umbilical cord blood stem cells” AND “development” AND “cerebral palsy” to find articl...
full textCancer stem cells: therapeutic targets
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) have been identified as rare cellular populations in many cancers, including leukemia and solid tumors. This minor subpopulation of cancerous cells is immortal tumor-initiating cells which thought to be responsible for cancer initiation, progression, metastasis, recurrence and drug/radiation resistance. Low proliferative rate, high self-renewing capacity, differentiatio...
full textAdvances in adipose-derived stem cells and cartilage regeneration: review article
The cartilage is a connective tissue that, due to the strength of its extracellular matrix, allows the tissue to tolerate mechanical stress without undergoing permanent deformation. It is responsible for the support of soft tissues and due to its smooth surface and elasticity, gives the joints the ability to slip and bend. excessive weight, excessive activity, or trauma can all cause cartilage ...

The mammalian cochlea is a highly complex structure which contains several cells, including sensory receptor or hair cells. The main function of the cochlear hair cells is to convert the mechanical vibrations of the sound into electrical signals, then these signals travel to the brain along the auditory nerve. Auditory hair cells in some amphibians, reptiles, fish, and birds can regenerate or r...
