[ 1 ] - Male germ-like cell differentiation potential of human umbilical cord Wharton’s jelly-derived mesenchymal stem cells in co-culture with human placenta cells in presence of BMP4 and retinoic acid
Objective(s):Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from Wharton’s jelly (WJ-MSCs) are now much more appealing for cell-based infertility therapy. Hence, WJ-MSCs differentiation toward germ layer cells for cell therapy purposes is currently under intensive study. Materials and Methods: MSCs were isolated from human Wharton’s jelly and treated with BMP4, retinoic acid (RA) or co-cultured on huma...
[ 2 ] - Flaxseed Can Reduce Hypoxia-Induced Damages in Rat Testes
Introduction: Hypoxia is a common leading cause of detrimental effect on structure and function of tissue during increase in the production of reactive oxygen species that are generated during the re-oxygenation phase of intermittent continuous hypobaric hypoxia and contribute to physiological responses. This study was carried out to evaluate the effects of flaxseed (Fx) in reducing the inciden...
