[ 1 ] - Lack of association between coding region of KCNE2 gene and the congenital long QT syndrome in an Iranian population
Introduction: Congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a cardiac disorder characterized by QT interval prolongation at basal ECG. Different LQTS genes encode ion channel subunits or proteins involved in regulating cardiac ionic currents. Long QT syndrome type 6 (LQT6) is caused by mutation in the KCNE2 gene. Our research aimed to analyze genetic variants of KCNE2 gene causing the disease in Irania...
[ 2 ] - Tumorigenicity of Esophageal Cancer Stem Cells (ECSCs) in nude mouse xenograft model
Background and objectives: Modeling cancer in vivo is a very important tool to investigate cancer pathogenesis and molecular mechanisms involved in cancer progression. Laboratory mice are the most common animal used for rebuilding human cancer in vivo. Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are the main reason of failure in cancer therapy because of tumor relapse and metastasis. Isolation of cancer stem cell...
[ 3 ] - Biological characteristics of Stem Cells from Human Exfoliated Deciduous Teeth (SHEDs) and its therapeutic applications in regenerative medicine
Stem cells isolated from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHEDs) are multipotent mesenchymal stem cells that are isolated from dental pulp tissues. These cells have a high proliferative capacity, multipotential ability, immunomodulatory function, and minimal risk of oncogenesis. Recent studies have shown that SHEDs are a feasible cell source for cell therapy and regenerative medicine.
