[ 1 ] - Association between rs2228014 Polymorphism of CXCR4 and Coronary Artery Atherosclerosis: A Case-Control Study
Introduction: Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease and is one of the leading causes of cardiovascular disease. Vascular plaques are formed on the inner surface of hardened arteries and gradually develop, reducing the diameter of the arteries. CXCR4 is one of the most important chemokine receptors, whose presence has been confirmed in cardiac plaques. Our aim was to determine the relations...
[ 2 ] - Induced Chondrogenic Differentiation of hESCs by hESC-Derived MSCs Conditioned Medium and Sequential 3D-2D Culture System
Background and Aims: It has been proven that human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) conditioned medium (hMSCs-CM) can influence human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) chondrogenic differentiation. In this study, we hypothesized that conditioned medium (CM) from hESCs-derived MSCs in a sequential 3D-2D culture system could facilitate the induction of chondrogenesis in hESCs. Materials and Methods: CM ...
