Objective(s): Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) potentials make them appropriate for cell therapy including ability of differentiation and release of anti-inflammatory cytokines and growth factors secreta. For treatment of azoospermia to induce proliferation and differentiation of germ cells, MSCs transplantation has been introduced. The aim of the present experimental case-c...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease which affects myelin in the central nervous system (CNS) and leads to serious disability. Currently available treatments for MS mainly suppress the immune system. Regenerative medicine-based approaches attempt to increase myelin repair by targeting endogenous progenitors or transplanting stem cells or their derivatives. Fingolimod exerts anti-inf...

Introduction: Cardiac glycosides such as digoxin or digitoxin are the natural products that are traditionally used to increase cardiac contractile force in patients with heart failure and cardiac arrhythmias. It has been shown that digoxin can directly inhibit the cell proliferation and lead to cell apoptosis. Present study was conducted to analyze the effect of digoxin in the cohorts of ...

Objective(s) Recombinant adenoviruses are currently used for a variety of purposes, including in vitro gene transfer, in vivo vaccination, and gene therapy. Ability to infect many cell types, high efficiency in gene transfer, entering both dividing and non dividing cells, and growing to high titers make this virus a good choice for using in various experiments. In the present experiment, a reco...

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a disruption in the brain functions following a head trauma. Cell therapy may provide a promising treatment for TBI. Human neural stem cells cultured in self-assembling peptide scaffolds have been proposed as a potential novel method for cell replacement treatment after TBI. In the present study, we accessed the effects of human neural stem/progenitor cells (hNS/...

traumatic brain injury (tbi) is described as a situation in which the brain is damaged by an external force. it is considered to be a chief problem in health care. pharmacotherapy and stem cell therapy are the main treatments used in tbi. the purpose of these procedures is to control the inflammation in injured regions of brain. currently, there is no effective care for tbi that could regenerat...
