[ 1 ] - 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: ...

[ 3 ] - Measuring Dimensions of Lumbar Intervertebral Discs in Normal Subjects

Introduction: Disc degeneration is a natural aging process characterized by changes in appearance and chemical structure of the disc. This degeneration leads to back pain. In regard to the limitation of current therapeutical methods for patients with degenerated discs, arthroplasty has been suggested as an alternative method. To manufacture artificial discs for Iranians, determining normal lumb...

[ 4 ] - Evaluation of Human Breast Adenocarcinoma (MCF-7) Cells Proliferation in Co-Culture with Human Adipocytes in Three Dimensional Collagen Gel Matrix: Norepinephrine as a Lipolytic Factor

Background: Norepinephrine plays a trophic role in the control of cell replication and differentiation in target cells that express adrenergic receptors. Methods: In this study, we have tested the influence of infraphysiological, physiological and supraphysiological concentrations (0.0001 nM, 1 nM, 10000 nM) of human norepinephrine on the proliferation of breast cancer cells (human breast adeno...
