The standard therapy for thyroid cancer is total or near total thyroidectomy, followed by the administration of radioactive iodine for remnant ablation or residual disease. Patients with radioiodine therapy are predisposed to second malignant neoplasms in organs such as central nervous system (CNS), breast, prostate, kidney, bone marrow, salivary gland, and digestive tract. Exposure to carcinog...

stroke is an important cause of death in the world and disability world‑wide especially in developed countries. following acute phase of stroke, some procedures and medical treatment such as thrombolytic agents has been recommended; nevertheless many patients have enduring deficits. thus, there is a realistic need to develop treatment strategies for reducing neurological deficits. however, the ...

conclusions our data suggest that preconditioning with 5 μm h2o2 + 0.5% fbs and 10 μm h2o2 + 5% fbs improved cell proliferation and viability. however, the mechanisms related to protective properties of preconditioning and using this strategy in stem cell therapy requires more research. background mesenchymal stem cells (mscs) survival decreased following in vivo injection and its application h...

Objective(s): Adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AT-MSCs) with more potent immunomodulatory effects, greater proliferative potential and secretion of growth factors and cytokines in comparison with bone marrow derived MSCs are more appropriate for cell therapy. The aims of the present study were to evaluate the histomorphometric effect of AT-MSCs allotransplantation on regeneration ...

background: hairy cell leukemia (hcl) is a chronic b-cell lymphoid leukemia characterized by pancytopenia, splenomegaly, myelofibrosis and the presence in peripheral blood, bone marrow and spleen of atypical lymphoid cells with a hairy aspect. the study aims to evaluate a group of patients with hairy cell leukemia, hospitalized in the clinic of hematology and oncology, kermanshah, iran, on a pe...

Stem cell-based therapy has great potential in treating health conditions including cardiovascular, autoimmune, type I diabetes, neurodegenerative and bone and cartilage diseases also in spinal cord injuries, malformations and cancer. In addition to their potential use to treat systemic diseases, stem cell-based therapy also provides a powerful tool to treat oral and dental diseases such as cra...

BACKGROUND Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are ideal candidates for treatment of diseases. Amniotic membranes are an inexpensive source of MSCs (AM-MSC) without any donor site morbidity in cell therapy. Adipose tissue derived stem cells (ASCs) are also suitable cells for cell therapy. There is discrepancy in CD271 expression among MSCs from different sources. In this study, the characteristics...

Cell-gene therapy is a dynamic constituent of novel medical biotechnology. Neurodegenerative disordersin which damage to or demise of specific brain cell types plays central role, are clear examples of diseasecandidate for cell replacement therapy. Dopaminergic (DAergic) neurons biosynthesize dopamine, a vitalneurotransmitter in the central nervous system. Due to the involveme...

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...
