[ 1 ] - Fetal microchimerism in mouse caerulein-induced pancreatitis model
Objective(s): Fetal microchimerism is the persistence of allogeneic cell population that transfer from the fetus to the mother. The aim of this study was to evaluate the presence of fetal microchimerism in the pancreas of the mouse with acute pancreatitis (AP).Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, female wild-type mice were mated with male EGFP+. AP model was obtained by injection ...
[ 2 ] - The effects of activated-omental extract on nuclear and cytoplasmic in vitro maturation of rat oocytes
Objective: The role of growth factors, including vascular endothelial growth factor of activated omentum on mitosis is clearly known, though not on all the aspects of in vitro oocyte maturation. This study was designed to assess the effect of activated-omental extract (AOE) on in vitro maturation (IVM) of rat cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs). Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, th...
[ 3 ] - Growth suppression effect of human mesenchymal stem cells from bone marrow, adipose tissue, and Wharton's jelly of umbilical cord on PBMCs
Objective(s):Immunosuppressive property of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) has great attraction in regenerative medicine especially when dealing with tissue damage involving immune reactions. The most attractive tissue sources of human MSCs used in clinical applications are bone marrow (BM), adipose tissue (AT), and Wharton's jelly (WJ) of human umbilical cord. The current study has compared immu...
[ 4 ] - The effect of amniotic membrane extract on umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cell expansion: is there any need to save the amniotic membrane besides the umbilical cord blood?
Objective(s): Umbilical cord blood is a good source of the mesenchymal stem cells that can be banked, expanded and used in regenerative medicine. The objective of this study was to test whether amniotic membrane extract, as a rich source of growth factors such as basic-fibroblast growth factor, can promote the proliferation potential of the umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells. Materials and ...
[ 5 ] - Different cell death types determination in juvenile mice ovarian follicles
Follicular atresia is a phenomenon that leads to evacuation of the ovary from the oocytes and the occurrence of menopause. The contribution of various types of cell death in atresia at different follicular developmental stages requires extensive investigation. In this study, we evaluated 3 types of programmed </...
[ 6 ] - Modulatory Effect of Gonadotropins on Rats’ Ovaries after Nandrolone Decanoate Administration: A Stereological Study
Background: Nandrolone decanoate (ND) is an anabolic androgenic steroid (AAS) which influences the ovarian structure and function. We assessed the effects of ND on the ovarian volume, number of primordial follicles, and level of hormones and also evaluated the modulatory effects of gonadotropins on the histopathological changes imposed by the administration of ND. Methods: Six groups of Sprague...
[ 7 ] - Osteogenesis effect of ginger (Zingiber officinale) hydroalcoholic extract in mouse embryos
Introduction: Ginger in Iranian traditional medicine is known as an effective plant in reducing menopausal symptoms and treating osteoporosis. Therefore, in this study, the effects of ginger on the skeletal system in the fetus and the level of bone formation factors in the mice were investigated. Materials and Methods: In this study, 40 pregnant Balb/c mice were equally divided into four groups...
