Background: Developing cell-based therapeutic methods for the differentiation of various stem cells to the dental tissues could be a revolutionary step towards the use of cell therapy for dental disease. In the present study, we aimed to systematically review the literature to establish the efficiency of stem cells in treatment of various dental diseases. Methods: A literature search was perfo...

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is one of the devastating conditions leading to functional and neurological deficits following road traffic accidents. To date, there is no definite treatment for repairing damaged spinal cord tissue. In this regard, cell therapy opens a new window in front of scientists by using different cells such as mesenchymal stem cells, olfactory ensheathing cells, Schwann cells,...

the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, e.g., cardiovascular disease, diabetes and neuronal degenerative disease, present a challenge to find more effective therapies. stem cell-based therapy, including embryonic, umbilical cord blood and adult stem cells provides a rational treatment tool for regenerative medicine and has the potential to revolutionize modern therapy. however, there are...

recently, cell therapy has sparked a revolution in ischemic heart disease that will in the future help clinicians to cure patients. earlier investigations in animal models and clinical trials have suggested that positive paracrine effects such as neoangiogenesis and anti-apoptotic can improve myocardial function. in this regard the royan cell therapy center designed a few trials in collaboratio...

Stem/progenitor cell based therapeutic approach in our daily routine clinical practice, has been elusive dream in medical sciences and improvement of stem cell homing as one of major challenges in cell therapy programs, has been considered a promising milestone. It has been proved that stem/progenitor cells exhibit a homing response to injured tissues/organs, mediated by interactions of chemoki...

Glomerulonephritis (GN), characterized by immune-mediated inflammatory changes in the glomerular, is a common cause of end stage renal disease. Therapeutic options for glomerulonephritis applicable to all cases mainly include symptomatic treatment and strategies to delay progression. In the attempt to yield innovative interventions fostering the limited capability of regeneration of renal tissu...
